Static sites are overrated for most cases. Often you still need a backend for editing with non-technical folks or just easier handling of media, etc so you're now running a server-side instance of some blog or CMS while adding a whole new detached frontend layer.
With things like Cloud Run that can run a container on-demand for every request, it's easier to just stick with regular Wordpress or Ghost server-side stacks.

Not for my blog.

If your goal is to get outside visitors, then you definitely do not want to do this. I can understand Cloud Run for demoing small apps though.
