I host several statically built websites on a cheap VPS. DNS and SSL was configured once, Pelican + Rsync bungs up the new posts whenever I need them. The site itself handles hundreds of requests daily without breaking a sweat. The server has an up time approaching 2 years. I’ve had to maintain it minimally since then; APT updates break nothing, thanks Debian. Maybe my tastes are different, but I enjoy playing with the scripts, the config, tweaking the CSS here and there. The risks are tiny and the payoff is I have a fun site that a couple of other people enjoy. All of the effort to create sites like mine is in the initial configuration; lifetime maintenance is minimal. Chasing security obstructions and NPM build errors every week, I don’t see the fun in that. Even if a self built Vue.js web app does some cool things, or looks good on your portfolio. I'll pass.
