I've found that in component-driven UI, the need for these kinds of utility classes becomes less and less necessary. The utility CSS may be defined in the component, and the component is ultimately what gets reused.
Could you elaborate more on the reason for your interest? I've used Tailwind to implement several well-defined design languages, and always had great success. In fact, compared to other design systems, Material for example, I found it to be far simpler to manage over time.
It’s upsetting how as the years go on, I’m seeing more and more similarities to the world that the film depicts. But in a strange way, that makes the film all the more important to me.
Within a components template though, I frequently use <ng-container> to execute async pipes, or to perform simple conditional logic without adding unnecessary divs.
Things can still get tangled up once you start using "ofActionDispatched" lifecycle handlers, but overall I found them to be far more manageable over time than NGXS.

Essential Craftsman - construction, tools, etc. Has a great new series where he is walking through the entire construction of a home, dubbed the "spec house" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzr30osBdTmuFUS8IfXtXmg
Frank Howarth - woodworking https://www.youtube.com/user/urbanTrash
Matthewmatosis - long-form video game analysis https://www.youtube.com/user/Matthewmatosis
NurdRage - incredibly interesting high level chemistry (to me at least). Has a really great series where he finds a new way to make Sodium Metal. https://www.youtube.com/user/NurdRage
RR Buildings - post-frame construction, tool reviews https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWXEQsK3UiHszjwgGN5HUeQ
This Old Tony - machining, welding. Very funny! https://www.youtube.com/user/featony
Vancouver Carpenter - mostly drywall tips. Offers very clear explanations of how to do various drywall jobs https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbZdXox6mKHdcT2QdVT-goQ
I consider Essential Craftsman to be one of the best YouTube channels out there. If you're interested in tools, construction or history in heavy industry, definitely give it a look.
I do a lot of small projects here and there. I'm currently working on one that I've been chipping away at for the last six months or so, but it's coming along at a much more relaxing pace.
While I do think that it's important to finish what you start, I also believe that knowing when to stop is just as valuable.

It'd be a shame if they discontinued it! A lot of incredibly smart and dedicated folks have put their hearts and souls into that project.
After work I would typically spend a few hours a night hacking away at whatever feature I thought was a "must have". Suddenly the list of features that were absolutely needed to ship a 1.0 release grew quite long, and was too much to manage on my own.
I called it quits a few years ago at this point, but I wouldn't say I regret my decision to have put so much effort into a project. It gave me an opportunity to contribute to some high-profile libraries like Lucene.NET and Backbone, and I most certainly grew as a developer.
I wouldn't beat yourself up too hard, though. I'm sure you learned a whole lot about browser limitations, animation, and how to manage your time and expectations in the future. If you agree, then I'd say it wasn't a total loss at all.
Last month a video showing some future updates to the Material Design components leaked. If you check out https://youtu.be/0mAude0774I?t=1m27s you can (briefly) see that the version of Gmail they're showing has a lot of functionality seen in Inbox, particularly Trip cards and expandable message bodies. Fingers crossed!

I only wish Apple would open source BootCamp and allow others to try and fix the few issues that it still has, namely around battery consumption. Highly unlikely they would ever do that, but one can dream.
