Disagree.
Just get one of the tailwind UX kits and use their classes as your standard style guide. I personally use flowise as it’s free with paid more complex components if needed, but there are a bunch of others out there that fill the same space.

Can you suggest which of these kits are good?

The same can be said about Bootstrap, though. Just get a theme to make it look less bootstrapy. I think both viable ways to go, and it just boils down to personal preference (especially for hobby projects).
On a new project, sure maybe going with tailwind + a theme/kit is a bit more up to date than using bootstrap. But on an existing page that already looked fine with bootstrap, why bother with the extra work?
That one.
Tailwind gives you tools when you want to control the design, but you’ve got to control the design.
When you just want something that looks good and don’t mind that bootstrap-y feel, bootstrap is the way to go.
(There are projects that essentially recreate bootstrap on top of tailwind, which, in theory, might give you something like bootstrap as a starting point with the power of tailwind, but I haven’t seen it work better in practice than just using bootstrap.)
