I'd argue Laravel and Symfony's development are tightly coupled to a single person / company (Taylor Otwell / SensioLabs). If CMS & ecommerce are a big portion of this project I'd easily pick WordPress. The only requirement it fails to meet is "no php code in templates". WordPress meets all the other criteria and it is generally great for spinning up a MVP.

My laravel sites all perform light years better/faster.
