I support this very much. WP is quick to setup but becomes a huge pain in the a* very quickly. Everything needs a plugin. Caching, backups, multilanguage support - these were the big ones for us. It becomes very fragile and hard to update, at some point you start spending a lot of time maintaining everything. At the end I just sat down for an afternoon and wrote 500 lines of reusable python/flask that did exactly what we needed [1]. Even though it's my code this is actually much less work to maintain compared to some MySQL-PHP-WP-10Plugins-JS-Nginx-Kraken monster.
