There's a lot of people, including oftentimes the tailwind dev(s?) themself, who view Tailwind as a replacement for both CSS and Components.

I think this is an L take. Tailwind is a solid replacement for 99% of the CSS you'll have to write. Its not a replacement for components. It makes components better.

Just wrap that monstrosity in a component; at that point I'm not sure why it matters. Have you ever looked at the component definition for an @mui/material button? Its a cthuluian insanity. The people who maintain that library likely need therapy every week just to remain functional humans. And, I thank them deeply for their service, because I so rarely have to look at those innards; they just work from the outside.
