Please, don't abstract button CSS into a component! It leads to suffering. Don't do this: https://github.com/baoagency/polaris_view_components/blob/main/app/components/polaris/headless_button.rb

Using inline styles for buttons with Tailwind is also a bad option, because it can be hard for you to update the component everywhere in your app at once.

CSS abstractions with an API similar to Boostrap should be just enough: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/components/buttons/#sizes
