The question I have is: Is Vite becoming the all-in-one nodejs tool that is replacing all the other full featured js tooling favorites like Bun, Deno and pnpm?

Vite is not a package manager and is not a JS runtime. That's what Node/Bun/Deno do. Vite is the remaining glue for any web project's build and testing needs.
Bun and Deno are not js runtimes either. They are wrappers for existing js runtimes and add additional apis.
But they give a usable interface and toolkit to the runtime (V8 etc). 99% of users use one of those three.
Just use Vite Plus (viteplus.dev)
Vite is unmatched
vite just works
Nope, mostly using pnpm over here.
That's orthogonal; Vite (and its ecosystem) _with_ pnpm is likely the best combination avlbl.
