I have been writing SASS for a decade or so but just recently I decided to use on a small website project pure CSS. I loaded Bootstrap5 as a base foundation and then just used CSS overwrites and global variables. After doing project like that I had a bit of an epiphany that with SASS I have been over engineering my CSS. I think there is same issue is too often on Tailwind and God forbid... writing CSS in JS. Even though I was thinking I am going to move from SASS to PostCSS. I am not saying these approaches are bad. But CSS itself has evolved a lot in recent years. Therefore, maybe using just plain CSS is often the right approach?
