I'm still not 100% sure when to --save vs. --save-dev vs. just npm install -g packages
It doesn't matter if you're using a modern build tool. It treeshakes for production build

Dev for everything you need to build/lint/transpile/etc but not in production. E.g. Babel and Webpack stuff is typically only needed for development, not in the finished production code.
