95% of your list is applicable to any other project you might venture on. This is absolutely nothing specific to static site generators. In fact, if you started a WordPress site from scratch, you'll probably be adding a ton more things to that list. I run a couple of Jekyll sites, with Directus as my headless CMS, and my experience is pretty much the same as writing posts for a Wordpress site. I wrote the post in a simple editor, save it, and manually trigger a deployment on Netlify. Even the deployment can be automated if I were to set up some simple build hooks. There are a view downsides and limitations, but nothing I can't live without. And it actually helps me keep everything as simple as possible.
