One of the biggest benefits in my opinion is, to communicate the different utility classes to your UI/UX person. By restricting him/her to discrete values for margin, padding, colors, etc. they will not go overboard with there designs and also make the handoff way easier. If you use zeplin for example you can for example define color names in the sketch file and zeplin will show them in their UI. You just click on a text and see "ahh she used text-gray-500".
Much less friction in the workflow.
As for the concerns about messy markup mentioned in some other reply. True that can happen sometimes, but if you use React or Vue, you can encapsulate a lot in components. The markup in the components high up in the tree will look basically the same. And the leaf components should be quite small anyways.
Another really nice benefit to the old way is that you don't have to worry about breaking stuff. When you change bg-gray-200 to bg-gray-300 you can be sure that it only affects the element you have in front of you.
But in the end I think people have to try it out to be able to judge Tailwind.
