agree that the non-stop overly frequent maintenance is a serious pain point for site owners and developers. Also agree with GP that gutenberg has been ruining WP since it was shoved into core, for many reasons. If the classic-press fork of WP is still a thing it'd be better for most people. Glad to see they are working with a performance team now. Currently I find it best use one of the wordpress-to-static plugins to have a design spit out into static html and use that. (which then you can zip/archive and delete all the php / gutenberg / logins etc) It's safer and faster. of course you would lose comments and easy client updates going static, and may need a contact form chunk of code to add after the fact in some cases - but it's my current suggestion.
