This is totally true. We've recently started to discover this paradox ourselves: when styling and layout is all done via CSS, and JS + other assets are cached, HTML is just as light weight as JSON over the wire. As ashamed as I am to admit it, our newest innovation appears to be "multi-page apps"!

I gotta get better at CSS, I'm somewhat horrified by what I've done in JavaScript that it turns out I didn't need. Does anyone know of a good book on intermediate/advanced CSS to help avoid excess JS usage/complexity?

I haven't used it personally BUT it seems to cover most things I'd use these days, including "new" topics like grid, filters, etc. CSS is relatively simple so something of a reference with some examples would be great.
