We've been building a lot of content systems lately and found Wagtail to be pretty useful (https://wagtail.io/ https://wagtail.io/). We build pretty much everything on Django so it's a natural fit for us.
Understanding the models and the way they show up in the admin takes a bit but it's pretty smooth after that, and very programmable. And its built-in API uses DRF, so you can expand on it with that easily. Our frontends are all React-based and it works out very nicely.
Looking at this I kind of checked out once I saw Java, which I'm not inclined to deal with these days. To each their own of course.

The Shiohara CMS currently uses Nashorn to create Javascript templates. But it is also compatible with GraalVM and we intend to add more languages supported by GraalVM to create templates.
