I've switched from the Jamstack/static site generators to nocode WordPress for content sites, to focus my coding more on app UIs in the long term.
Jamstack is nice, but it's either for personal developer blogs or larger teams. Outsourcing is too expensive with coders being in high demand.
Everything WP can be easily outsourced when needed, and there really isn't much of a speed benefit with Jamstack sites if you cache your WP site on the edge (e.g. with Cloudflare APO) and use a fast DNS. Security of the origin server isn't a problem with a good host or going static.
You can generate static sites from a local WP install if you find secure hosting too expensive, here's a nice docker based tool for this: https://lokl.dev/ https://lokl.dev/
WP is really as hard, ugly fast or slow as you make it, you have to find the right theme and plugin ecosystem within WP.
I don't have to and don't need touch the code building sites with it, so all those weird WP code conventions don't really bother me.
