I say have a quick overview of Bootstrap but at this point that framework is really bloated with too many styles and components. Try Bulma instead. It has only the the most common components and styles, uses flexbox, and is modular for those who use SASS. I haven't used Tailwind CSS but I heard some pretty good things; definitely look for small css libraries that get you going quickly with less bloat.

Also, thanks for mentioning Alpine. This sounds interesting. There's also Svelte, as I heard that this is the next framework on the rise.

Lastly, any well rounded front end dev should also consider getting familiar with templating engines (Jinja, Thyme, Blade, Twig, Pug, Handlebars) used in monolithic and micro frameworks as you will likely be working with them in teams that use these frameworks.
