Pretty much. UI libraries are more or less meaningless now, and I say this as someone who spent the last decade building them. Given a proper data API to work against, you're a single prompt away from a fully tested bespoke lib that's more maintainable and has no dependencies. The weeks of work you saved by reaching for one before is gone, and the tradeoff you had to make of dealing with upstream changes and lack of customization just isn't there anymore.
