Especially for Tailwind, there are tons of high-quality open-source projects like Vercel's commerce, component platforms like tailwindcomponents or if you prefer videos the Tailwind Labs YouTube channel. There are also tools like Windy, which allows you to transform page content into Tailwind-styled markup to get a better understanding.
I've been using Tailwind CSS for roughly 3 years now, and it is currently my go-to solution for starting a new project.
CSS-in-JS is often praised as the solution when I ask people what they are using instead. Whether or not to use CSS-in-JS boils down to preference, but be aware you can use both with libraries like twin.macro (see Tailwind adds no value and does not scale on why you would still want it). As for my part, I find it easier to modify my styling without jumping around my component's file.
I can suggest taking a look at Tailwind CSS Best Practice Patterns and Robin Malfait's Good Example to get an idea of how that would look like. For consistency, I can also recommend having a convention for class ordering or using headwind as an opinionated class sorter.
I mention this since JIT mode is still in preview but will eventually eliminate this issue as well. Tailwind generates lots of classes, so you need to strip out the unused ones for production builds. Back in older versions, this required setting up purgecss. Credit where credit's due it later was merged into Tailwind to make it even easier for people to get optimized production builds.
