C#+CSS viable for game development?

What is the general guidance on building and binding to my UI using pure C# (or maybe building the individual components with UXML/CSS and then building out the UI onto a root through code) similar to Android Compose or SwiftUI?

Coming from Android/iOS development the prospect of callbacks and state hoisting seems like it would make for an overall simpler UI development experience. Are there memory or stability considerations I am missing or is this something that is a completely safe and valid path for investigation?

My personal approach has been to build probably around 95% of my UI toolkit interfaces through code, and then style them with USS style sheets. Haven’t had any issues with it really, hell I find a number of benefits, such as being able to inject mock data outside of play mode to visualise what the certain dynamic elements will look like.
