I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I like the idea of having a base stylesheet which doesn't use classes, because every time I see someone write something like <div class="nav"> a little piece of my soul departs.
On the other hand, what you're doing is using data attributes instead of classes, which isn't functionally any different, is it?
I split this up into two parts. The classless stylesheet, base.css, doesn't use data attributes and should work with about every HTML document.
I added some more, optional UI components that can be used with data-attributes. Those are available in the complete all.css or with npm. You're right, those data attributes are not functionally different from class names.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I think I like this, but I'm not sold.
