We switched over to Vite some time back and it's been pretty life changing. We're using react and tailwind too, so the HMR works really well for us.

The config is beyond minimal. If you're using webpack you may want to look away now :-)

    import { resolve } from 'path'
    
    import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
    import reactRefresh from '@vitejs/plugin-react-refresh'
    
    
    export default defineConfig({
      plugins: [reactRefresh()],
      build: {
        rollupOptions: {
          input: {
            index: resolve(__dirname, 'index.html'),
          }
        },
        sourcemap: true
      },
      esbuild: {
        jsxInject: `import * as React from "react"`
      },
      resolve: {
        alias: [
          { find: '@', replacement: '/src' },
        ]
      },
    })
