I am currently undoing nextjs out of a side project (where I spent 2 months learning react/next as it seemed like everyone knew something I didn't). I think I got pretty good at it and frankly the only useful thing I get about is it were - I think you referred to as - "isolated css". Frankly I found the whole shebang way too complicated and bloated and just was not worth being stuck to Node as a backend (I am fairly comfortable (dare I say formidable) with golang and don't see a need - for me - to switch.

On fe html/Templates+webpack (scss for variables and typescript) has taken me very far with a clean and fast build step and more importantly dependencies don't break every few months!

One downside though is remembering why a particular "css" after a while. But i am not a particularly fe/styling person so my css is simple. May tailwind is for the Uber fe/design crowd!
