JSF is a true JCP product for good and bad.

It can be a bit complex to learn to use properly.

JSF + no will to spend time learning the tool = disaster

But when one has done the necessary studies, then it is not
difficult to use.

I would say that it depends on the JSF components you decide to use.

If you use the simple 1:1 JSF component-HTML tags, then you can
design the HTML as you want.

An using facelets can actually make the XHTML files be valid and
editable by HTML people XHTML.

If you use some more high level JSF components (incl. extra non
standard components), then you  loose control over the HTML (but
may be able to get something done faster).

Your choice.
