True, but those usually involve adding some sort of linter to ensure that your style sheets are clean, which is an additional build step, which is an opportunity for a build to fail. Tailwind gives me this out of the box and doesn’t require any sort of manual lifting because it does this automatically.

This hasn’t been the case for us, I’m on a team of about 50 devs contributing to a 2 year old monolith and Tailwind hasn’t once gotten in my way.

Thanks for the data point re: larger apps. Like I said, haven't had that experience with Tailwinds specifically so I can only go by the various things I read about those who have. I'm sure it's like any other tool - it can be used or abused.
