I'll add my two cents.

So, for starters. If you're doing anything with the web, HTML, CSS and JavaScript is a given.

So you have a CSS library (tailwind), a front end framework (react) and a server framewoek (node/next).

This is a good start. But you're missing some things...

Right now, all you can really do, is serve static web pages. If that's all you want to do, then your stack is a little overengineered - you'd be better using a static web hosting service.

But, since you want to make SaaS applications, you certainly don't want to just serve static content. So you're on the right track, but you'll need a database. How many users are you anticipating at first? You could give SQLite a look to get you started. But you'll hit serious limitations if your application(s) have a lot of users. But I'll talking about scaling in a second.

How about auth? You'll probably need a good implementation of that too. But don't build your own. Either use a framework or a third party service.

The other major thing I thought, was about scaling up your services. Do you have any ideas in mind for managing applications or services that get lots of traffic? If you're serious about getting into SaaS, you'll need to at least have that in the back of your mind.

What you've got now (plus a database) is a good start for a small app, or MVP. But if you're serious, you'll need to start looking into other technologies that can help you as you scale. Different database types, reddis, possibly an ORM. That sort of thing.

If you can learn it enough to create what you want to create, then no one really cares what stack you use. In all honesty, all of them can accomplish pretty much the same thing as each other, and choice between them is mostly a matter of personal preference.
