I think there is a parallel between an increasingly hacky/complex Jekyll/Hugo setup and a hacky/complex low-code system. These systems are good for prototyping and getting going, but there may be a certain point where it ends up being easier and more manageable to do the thing in code. It can also be a nice side project to find a markdown/rst/etc. parser and make a site generator.
