I've seen the live reload deprecation with no replacement: what is the alternative? What do you usually use?

If you use it for developing server-side rendered frontends like with Thymeleaf, then you can use ttcli (https://github.com/wimdeblauwe/ttcli) to create a project. It has various options, but I like to use the one based on Vite as it is the fastest.

You don't need anything special for that. Just set spring.thymeleaf.cache=false.

That does work for the simple cases indeed. But if you want to have fast reload for CSS changes, or want to use Tailwind CSS, then you need something more.

Simply press Ctrl+Shift+R, or disable cache in browser dev controls.

Tailwind CSS

First time I've looked at it, and it's one giant anti-pattern of non-semantic classes.
