Yes, that's where things are going. The vast majority of websites out there never really needed 18-wheeler CMSs to move a small box. The vast majority of web dev shops cannot afford a full-time fully qualified ops/server admin employee. Conclusion: serverless architectures are the obvious answers for most websites and web apps. For the two or three must-be-done-in-server processes, services like AWS Lambda will do (or APIs from vendors). Turn Drupal into a PAAS with an API that any front-end CMS can use. I've already tested this hypothesis with a few small/medium sized clients (size measured in traffic and user base). It works. I had to put together a simple CMS (backbone+bootsrap) but it would be nice to see a popular CMS with themes + plugins going into this direction.
