sanctum VS jetstream

Going deeper than just blade files, Laravel is a full MVC framework and so includes things like Models and Controllers out of the box that can be used to organize your server-rendered code. Authentication is also baked in by default, and with first-party packages like Breeze, Sanctum, or Socialite, you can include user registration, login, API-based authentication, social sign-ups, and role-based permissions with near zero configuration.

Long story short, I found this issue that was closed and here is the comment of the laravel dev:

Laravel Sanctum is the go-to solution for token-based API authentication and SPA (Single page application) authentication. It uses an authentication guard when performing the SPA authentication.

Welcome to the dark side! If you're looking for even more reasons to love Laravel, check out Spatie's packages or some of Laravel's official ones like Cashier, Echo, or Sanctum.

For writing models I would suggest using Action Closes. One example of them can be found in Jetstream's sourcecode. Actions are great to test in isolation and link to user stories.

While I prefer python for everything else, I'd go with Laravel Jetstream[1] for an MVP, just like I did with the last one I had to build. It's laravel, you can use Vue (React or Svelte) for your views instead of the blade templating language that comes with the framework. Jetstream also comes with Auth, user login and subscription and other useful stuff.

And for the flavor, I'd just go with DaisyUI[2] again, since it's based on tailwindcss and it's what I've been using lately.

In my experience, I can build MVPs real fast with the stack described above.

A well-implemented example of this would be in Laravel Jetstream, where an Actions namespace is defined for performing user-oriented tasks in Laravel Fortify — such as updating the user profile.

This legacy package is a very simple authentication scaffolding built on the Bootstrap CSS framework. While it continues to work with the latest version of Laravel, you should consider using Laravel Breeze for new projects. Or, for something more robust, consider Laravel Jetstream.

Laravel provide us with robust solutions and starter kits for authentication so let's start by creating a new Laravel 9 project and install Jetstram

In terms off bullet points you added, I've made something pretty similar using Laravel with : Laravel Jetstream(application starter kit with inertia + vue stack) https://jetstream.laravel.com/
