Future of CSS: Functions and Mixins
Traditionally CSS lacked features such as variables, nesting, mixins, and functions. This was frustrating for Developers as it often led to CSS quickly becoming complex and cumbersome. In an attempt to make code easier and less repetitive CSS pre-processors were born. You would write CSS in the format the pre-processor understood and, at build time, you'd have some nice CSS. The most common pre-processors these days are Sass, Less, and Stylus. Any examples I give going forward will be about Sass as that's what I'm most familiar with.

CSS: The Good Parts
The CSS Working Group had been aware of the need for CSS variables since its inception in 1997. By the late 2000s, developers had created various workarounds like custom PHP scripts and preprocessors like Less and Sass to compensate for this deficiency.

Vanilla+PostCSS as an Alternative to SCSS
While we may disagree whether Sass is still relevant today, Mayank's case for using Sass in 2022 sums up the many use cases for Sass/SCSS including a timeline from 2006 (Sass) to "2022+" (nesting). Nesting CSS used to one of the few good reasons left to choose Sass, SCSS (or less) in a new web project.

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.

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.

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.
