Can confirm.
Just started a project with this config:

{
  "projectName": "boilerplate",
  "mode": "code-router",
  "typescript": true,
  "tailwind": true,
  "packageManager": "pnpm",
  "addOnOptions": {},
  "git": true,
  "version": 1,
  "framework": "react-cra",
  "chosenAddOns": [
    "tanstack-query",
    "compiler",
    "t3env"
  ]
}

And it installed tailwind and lucide-react even if i didn't select any of that.

Same here. I thought I accidentally put yes to use tailwind, so I went back a commit and reinstalled start making sure no was selected and @tailwindcss/vite, lucide-react, and tailwindcss install either way
