The author and I look at this very differently. He aimed to have his blog up in five days.

Last time I created a blog I aimed to have it up that day.

IMO the text is more important than the HTML and CSS

I think people with an eye for design are going to be much more interested in showcasing that through their blog. In that sense it's pretty neat (and I'm curious about the Tailwind stuff used because I could see myself using that at work in future). Plus, the author's other stated goal was to try out some new hotness.

Of course, I'm not a designer myself so I would see all of this as overkill if I tried to do it. It's enough for me to write in org-mode and export my blog as HTML with a nice template. A static file server can handle a small bunch of HTML files at scale without breaking a sweat, so no need for the JS take on SSR or AWS Lambda functions or what have you.
