I have tried flutter, and I did not like it. It is an inaccessible mess, and it needs a build step.
If your main site content is JS, you are doing it wrong. Progressive enhancement is the way to go, never rely on any one component. No JS but have CSS? Great. It should work. JS and no CSS? Working too. CSS and JS but missing things like ES modules or CSS Variables? Let them use the noscript version. Inheritance is powerful and useful, and so is the cascade. I suggest you use CSS more, it takes time to get used to, but it is well worth it. Also, never write all your CSS by hand. Use the browser devtools, you can see changes live and in Chrome at least it has extras like a nice color picker, the shadow editor, and the timing-function editor. JS styling was tried before at Netscape, and it failed miserably. If you do not learn history, you are forever doomed to repeat it.
You can do everything with css, but today there are better ways to apply css, like tailwindcss in combination with twin.macro and css-in-js. Have you tried tailwind?, it's not the same as bootstrap, it's focus is utility classes. Just using their playground you should see the huge difference to reinventing your own class names every time and repetition everywhere. I mean, css is going to be there always because it's pretty powerful, but there are higher level alternatives that are a boost for productivity without the having to pay with efficiency.
I don't like utility classes. If someone made something like tailwind but using css variables instead of classes, I'd jump on in an instant, if it had any benefits over vanilla. I like my content and styles seperate.
With css in js everything is possible, you want separate styles? It got’s you cover, you have alternatives so you can lower the level when you need to, or use utility classes on other cases. Its definitely a matter of taste. I prefer styled components, css in jsx as properties, or tailwind

CSS in JS cannot style elements when JS is off, or in browsers without JS.
