You're dipping your toes back in at the right time. IMO a lot of criticism aimed at frontend development is latent cPTSD from a bygone era but things have really come together over the last half decade. NextJS and friends are bloated, but that's nothing to the shit-show that was Webpack et al. Now that that's mostly over, next-gen tooling like Vite make the development process a lot easier. CSS especially is a lot better than it was a decade ago.
