Bootstrap 3 is getting old and 4 seems to be far from done. Are you using other frameworks for the CSS? I guess what has to be replaced are:
I don't use all the JS stuff and the forms too I have found replacements for. I am searching for a lightweight option and won't mind if they are separate.
I recently read about Gutenberg on this page, is that are good replacement for the typography and can it handle any aspect of it?
Grids I'm not sure, but would be nice with a simple framework that uses flex.
Navbar, well I could build my own once I have a grid framework, right?
Any other parts of Bootstrap that would be missing? I am using Keen-UI so many components are already provided there.
User it from source, if you can. I've used bs4 via npm, I copy variables and, mixins add a copy of the bootstrap.scss editing that to points to the npm directory for the rest. From there i comment out most of it, only using the starting bits. Uncommenting as I need it. I can reference the copy of vars and mixins as needed in my components' scss.
It's much more useful from source this way. Changing variables instead of monkey patching. I also have become less reliant on the plugins scripts, using the bits i need, as needed.

I came to conclusion that the Flexboxgrid is giving the most flexibility while I still need Bootstrap for
Maybe a little more.
I use Bootstrap when going through the initial build of backend applications. It makes life a lot easier for faster development in the initial stages so it's not hideous to look at and customers can play with it.
We always replace it later on though with fresh CSS and drop bootstrap entirely when it comes to release time, but it's good for prototyping.
I've used it, but when you are working on a product that scales, using bootstrap or any other framework sooner or later becomes frustrating and tends to slow you down.
So my answer is no, I don't use it.
I don't tend to use CSS frameworks, but when I do Bootstrap seems to be my first choice for grids and tables. In the other hand, I often go for the Materialize way to get a cleaner output and Material Styles.
I don't think CSS framework are going nowhere, you find pieces if them in almost all templates you find on the web even on the paid ones
How about the menu and navbar? Do you have anything you use there? It's pretty simple with Bootstrap, I don't know if there's an extension to Milligram for that?
I don't use it for the grid, but some of the components and the js. I am not a fan of the classes in my markup. I want that to be as clean as possible.
If i don't make my own grid i either use Susy Grid or Singularity.
Otherwise I use bootstrap for temporary gigs like concepting. Whip that baby up fast!
I'm using milligram cause it's a good base and base only :) Sometimes i use Webplate as well :) Cheers
I am still using Bootstrap for all projects, I like:
A light css framework I use for personal project is milligram

I'm using Basscss which is lightweight and flexible. Combine it with flex box for layout and you're done :)
