I am unsure of using div for everything, for an experienced frontend developer, what would you use instead of div?

Honestly I think it'll still be div 😂, and it gets down to personal preference too, there's section, aside and main, they're all divs-ish i.e they serve as containers, only difference is their semantic meaning, and to replace a div what I'd use is section and the way I use it would be in a scenario where I have this huge block that has many other items in it and has a display of flex already so they're displaying as columns (i.e the items in the block), I set the block to be a section then I nest divs inside of the section because that is a section of the page and that section has other divs in it, the section can still be replaced with div and it'll work just as fine, but it semantically makes sense to make it a section. really hope this made sense and was able to answer what you asked

Congratulations on completing the challenge! 🎉
Welcome to the platform! 🎉 We're thrilled to have you here and excited to see your progress 💪as you continue your front-end development journey.
Your solution looks nice to me :)
In my projects:
- I always start with mobile-first workflow.
- I use at least one main element for a page (entire content goes into the main, if I'm not using header & footer), and avoid divs as much as possible and use section and article element wherever I can.
<body> <main> All content </main> </body>-
I Use relative units as much as possible and avoid absolute units whenever possible.

If you are someone who is just starting out with front-end development, I strongly suggest starting with the QR code component project(which you did). Also in the challenges page you may filter by (Newbie, HTML&CSS) sort by (easier first) to select projects that will help you solidify your foundation. To avoid any potential knowledge gap⚠️ please first solidify HTML, CSS, JS fundamentals, make few projects only with the trio and then move on to any framework or library.

I remember when I started out, I made countless mistakes and spent long hours searching for solutions. But hey, you don't need to go through the same struggles! 🙌 To help you shorten the learning curve, I recommend going through the following articles. They contain valuable insights that can make your journey smoother:
📚🔍 12 important CSS topics where I discuss about css position, z-index, box-model, flexbox, grid, media queries, mobile-first workflow, best practices etc. in a simple way.
📚🔍 11 important HTML topics where I discuss about my thought process and approach to convert a design/mock-up to HTML along with important topics like block and inline elements, HTML Semantic Elements.
I hope you find these resources somewhat helpful in your coding adventures! 🤞
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the amazing projects you'll create in the future! 🚀💻
Keep up the fantastic work and happy hacking! 💪✨
