Note: Running bin/dev is required for Tailwind CSS to work properly.
Not exactly.
You need your tailwind assets to be built and updated somehow. So you need for rails tailwindcss:watch to run.
And then you can have your rails s run separately.
bin/dev is just a way to combine those in one command using foreman (and you need foreman to be installed for that).
It is unfortunate Tailwind docs do not tell that: just use that tool. And not showing the real command so a dev needs to dig it out of script and foreman procfile.
Personally, i dont use such scripts locally (in dev). I like to run JS/assets and rails server separately as in heavy projects restarting the whole thing (building JS, rails server) when you need to reboot only one of them takes too much time.
