Doesn't that negate most of the benefits of using Tailwind in the first place?

Not at all. You design and iterate on the button using the individual classes, then you swap them out for a concise class once you are done. It's how tailwind is designed to be used.

Although I realize in looking this up in the documentation to show you, it's actually @apply and not @extend you are supposed to use.

Using @apply is the ultimate last resort though.
