I believe the Babel plugin eliminates most of the performance cost.
The naming is double-edged. Often you want to re-use your styled element, so the fact that it has a name from the get-go makes that really easy. But you're right, sometimes it's annoying to pull bits out that you didn't really want to.
Ultimately I went back to CSS Modules. I just don't understand why I'd want to the appeal of Tailwind.. I'd have to learn a new DSL that ultimately gives me less control.
