WordPlate: WordPress on Composer with sensible defaults

Starter theme with focus on code customizability, but layout editing with Gutenberg?
My stack is currently Wordplate as the base, with Lumberjack as the starting point for my theme. I then use ACF Pro to define Gutenberg blocks in PHP.

I’m stuck trying to find a modern workflow
Some starter themes for devs support Tailwind CSS, besides Roots/Sage those are: wd_s, wpemerge, wordplate (they use an abstraction on top of webpack called Laravel Mix, there are official Tailwind docs for it).

Wordplate, seems to go with the flow and adds just a thin layer on top of standard WP.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing stage and wordplate you can also consider the following projects:
air-light - 💨 WordPress starter theme - designed to be minimal, ultra-lightweight (< 20 kB) and easy for all kinds of WordPress projects. 7+years/1000+hours of development and still updating daily! We prefer the original WordPress way of doing things so no strange templating languages or frameworks here.
