Totally agree. I think where complexity really creeps in is as you add multiple new content editors with varying skill sets. If you want a team of people that don't know HTML or rest of the stack to edit, manage and deploy it then you're going to need a more complex abstraction. The alternative might be a training programme for new staff in HTML, CSS, git and rsync. You're trading one type of complexity for another. As you say, it all comes down to use cases.
