As someone who went through the whole thing just recently [1], it is a respectable opinion, but at the same time, it will eat your afternoon. Every step is very straightforward individually (configure Jekyll, set up Netlify, buy a domain), but the sum of the parts is still a considerable time sink if it isn't what you do for bread and butter. I know I configured DNS records in uni networking class many years ago, doesn't mean I remember the slightest of it.
