I have a similar experience to yours. I'm using preact for most things now, sveltekit for anything full-stack or when I need static generation (great fro small/mid-sized projects, haven't build anything "enterprise" with it).

I wish Remix was preact. It looks like it has parts of preact and svelte I really enjoy.

I've been using Next.js since 2016/17 at small and large SaaS scale) -- I feel like they're building it like a VS funded SaaS now. The added complexity doesn't really pay off.

I haven’t done serious front end work since years, so I’m not up to date with recent solutions. The current project I contribute to has a Next.js app for its front end. The web app has maybe 4-5 pages, only one is pretty heavy (a sort of IDE like web UI). I’ve never experienced such a sluggish tool. next dev consumes a massive amount of memory and is really slow, next build takes minutes to compile pages… I’m pretty happy I’m not touching the front end regularly, I’ve mostly noticed the slow build times when creating a docker image (it takes ~10min to build in a CI context, most of that time is waiting for pnpm install and next build to finish) and setting up some continuous deployment pipelines.

I really feel bad for anyone who decided to go with that stack.
