What I've always wanted to be able to do though is restyle the actual DOM element as it animates from one part of the screen to another. Unless this changed pretty recently, my understanding is that the browser is basically grabbing a screenshot of the DOM element before it navigates and animates the snapshot itself across the screen.
I've also run into random issues related to having to tag the element targets. I don't remember all the details now so I can't give a great example, but especially when using libraries like HTMX I was having issues trying to make sure the right elements were tagged to animate correctly.
Conditional animations can be done, though its a little odd to wrangle and you can end up with code mixed between HTML, JS, and CSS to work with it.
Yeah you can customize them a bit.
