How about displaying data in rows and columns, like records in a database? Or have you forgotten SQL, because you retrieve JSON from your 1000 NoSQL microservices?

Rows and columns are exactly what grid was added to CSS for.

Using only CSS for tabular row and column data is just as wrong as using tables for layout. There are legit reasons for using <table> today that can't be replicated by CSS. Namely, CSS doesn't confer the same semantic meaning into markup that <table> does.

I'd hate to hear that on a screen reader.
