In my mental model the requirements of the modern web are way above what was in the 1990s. A single static landing page would be expected to have at least traffic tracking, at least for the sake of load-balancing. Even if the page is that - just a static page, the chance it's hosted by the content owner themselves is becoming smaller every day. So frankly - yes. I believe today is the right time to start adding/replacing layers in the stack. After all - we've gone a long way in terms of software deployment tools so it's way more interchangeable.
