I think a lot of people got a bad taste from webpack, gulp, etc. projects ~5 years ago that immediately mired you in deep config complexity to do anything. Nowadays there's a lot more documentation and emphasis on zero config / convention / CLI tooling to remove a lot of that complexity. Things are a lot better nowadays, especially if you're doing something greenfield and can use the latest tooling like vite, esbuild, etc.

Well, kinda? I tried to set up typescript, storyboard and tailwind the other day, via create-react-app - and it's not really clear if I can/should use npm or yarn, and what, if any bundles like webpack or esbuild/craco I need... Nor did any of the documentation/tutorials "just work" - and as final punishment I think I had to download more than a gig of dependencies.
I get that there are many layers of tooling, but when I can't seem to get half the features of qt, nor a gui for 4gl development - it does seem like there's a lot of churn and pain for limited gain.
Here is advice.
Using Laravel with Breeze and the set up just works out of the box.
