> you need fancy tooling to ensure everyone can work at a reasonable level of productivity.

If you have a thousand people working on a single product, yes, but you also have the resources to have dedicated tool support teams at that level. In my experience, if you’re under multiple dozens of developers or not everyone works on all of your projects, the tools fragment because people aren’t combining or configuring them the same way and there’s enough churn in the front-end tool space that you’ll hit various compatibility issues which lower the effectiveness of sharing across projects. This is especially true if you’ve hired people who self-identify as, say, Next or Tailwind developers rather than web developers and lack the understanding of the underlying technology to fix complex problems.
