> As far as the complication of maintaining different blogs, it's fairly easy to set up and maintain a multisite wordpress instance If you don't use any plugins and have auto-updates, yeah. Otherwise it can quickly become a significant chore. A trick to make WordPress maintenance easier and security better is to use the simply static plugin and basically use WP only as a backend for writing, but statically compile all the content and push it to a dedicated place for static content (Netlify, AWS S3+CloudFront, CloudFlare Pages, Firebase Hosting, etc). It's more secure (only static content is public facing), it's faster and can scale to infinity, usually for free or very cheap.
