We use it to [override some bootstrap sass variables](https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/b28596b1332942a07d57928c79e45f7739020272/app/assets/stylesheets/parameters.scss), like colours and lineheight. I know that bootstrap has been moving to [using css variables](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/customize/css-variables/), but that it's not a completed transition (going by the issues list at least). 

However, given our basic usage of the sass variables, I suspect that we could move to using their css variables, but I'm not certain on that.

As for other more advanced uses of sass, I'm not sure that we have much any more. Most sass-based calculations have been removed (although I see there's some in common.scss) and I again suspect that we could replace most, if not all, of these either with CSS or with removing some unnecessary custom css.
