Learn CSS Layout the Pedantic Way
There's still some boilerplate, but I'm a big fan of Open Props[0] because it takes a hybrid approach. CSS isn't necessarily reinventing the wheel, but allowing for easier / more powerful approaches to difficult layouts or things that would otherwise require JS. Bootstrap is fine but troubleshooting advanced layout issues involves a lot of inspecting elements to see what styles are actually being applied (at least in my experience, YMMV) so I'd personally always bet on CSS.

Why Tailwind Isn't for Me
I don't quite get the hate for having CSS in another file. Do you also put all your react stuff in one single file ? That same logic and argument can be applied against all modularization.
And really 20-50 tailwind classes in a single element is VERY hard to read and keep in mind. No - it does not make things clear or understandable. One tends to need to re-read and scan over from the beginning and eyes glaze over. Esp if some elements only vary with a few classes missing. I guess it works for people with very high attention to detail and high amount of working memory. I only find it personally frustrating.
Maybe tailwind css works for some bright people. I did try it for a couple of projects and only felt pain.
However, the "atomic css" philosophy behind tailwind is great. I find framewroks like https://open-props.style/ far better to use.

The Future of CSS: Easy Light-Dark Mode Color Switching with Light-Dark()
> If you wanted to actually solve theming, what you should work for is not a constrained helper function like light-dark(), but instead a shared token schema. Today nearly every company has their own token schema and different ways of naming things in the semantic token layer. If we had a shard language here, not only would it be trivial to add light/dark theming (just redefine a few variables that are already provided for you), code could be shared between sites and inherit the theming/branding.
Isn't that the idea behind https://open-props.style/ (and https://theme-ui.com/ in JS land)?
I think it's a great idea, but hampered by the lack of adoption incentives for the very people that need to adopt it for it to become successful (design system/component library authors). It introduces constraints, but the promised interoperability is not really beneficial to the people who need to work within those constraints.

Tailwind CSS and the death of web craftsmanship
I do think that the real value of Tailwind comes from the utility classes, rather than css-in-html paradigm. You could achieve the same, for example, with Pollen.css [0] or Open Props [1].

How to work efficiently with a designer ?
For my past projects, I used a simple CSS framework, Chota, which I override with custom stuff, and at build time everything is compressed to keep only CSS that is used by the HTML. I structure my code to be able to re-use small parts of the style (menu, sections, cards) depending on the project.

Project YALA - MongoDB Atlas Hackathon 2022 on DEV submission
Instead of using commonly used frameworks (like Spring Framework) I preffered to use something that is small and doesn't have "magic" in it. So I've chosen Javalin as a simple web framework, added MongoDB client libraries nad jte as template engine. To show that simple and clean looking apps doesn't need any big JS libraries I've selected chota - one of micro CSS frameworks.

Possible with R?
I'm not sure if this comment will be upvoted in this subreddit, but both the most professional, and the easiest, way to accomplish this is to build the form in Vue or React, or even just a bare HTML form and style it if you like with something like chota, and create the rendering using some kind of JavaScript 3d rendering engine like this one.

23 Responsive And Lightweight CSS Frameworks
Chota is a tiny super lightweight, simple to use, lightweight CSS framework where all sets of modules are packed in about 3Kb. It does not require any preprocessors, just add it within your project and start using it. It is very simple to extend due to CSS variables. It comes with plenty of components and utilities, like a magic 12 column grid. It has good semantics, can be switched easily to dark mode, and supports icons out-of-the-box as well. Similar to other lightweight CSS frameworks, remembering different class names is no longer necessary.
