Classic Themes with Block Patterns in WordPress
For the sake of simplicity, my example setup uses a single-file plugin and puts all styles directly into a single style.css file without using further theme.css or theme.json files, which we might want to use depending on the requirements for customizability. Likewise, SASS / SCSS support can be added if it makes life easier for the developer(s) involved. But as we already use PostCSS to control autoprefixing and cssnano minification, we can also use it to support the latest and even upcoming CSS sytax like native CSS nesting.

CSS: From Chaos to Order
@fbem/css-loader is very similar to css-loader (and actually a fork of it) and has almost the same set of options and functionality. You can even use it with different style preprocessors by simply chaining loaders together in webpack config. But be sure to pick up if you need them 😏.

React SSR loading CSS on express server problems.
Css files need a css loader like https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader. In fact I see you already have 2 css loaders in your normal webpack config. the server config needs those too. Your fronted build and server build will be very similar in that regard.

Vue devs, what can React do better than Vue 3?
React comes by default with css module support via https://github.com/webpack-contrib/css-loader, which is stable and not deprecated. (Note that this entirely independent of react)

Use PrimeReact Themes with CSS Modules Enabled in React Application
I have enabled CSS modules within webpack.config in my React application so that I can locally scope CSS files to individual components. I'm also trying to use the TabView component from PrimeReact. When I do so the themes from PrimeReact are not applied. If I create a separate project and do not enable CSS modules the themes apply correctly.

Built-In CSS naming pattern
this is technically a feature of css-loader and not of nextjs, next just supports it ootb through their webpack config. iirc its this option you need to customize

Why I left CSS-in-JS and returned to good old CSS preprocessors
One possible non-JSS solution is css-modules supported in css-loader. That requires some setup which may get convoluted if you need CSS preprocessors or SSR.
