Could someone give me a quick run down on what Astro is good for please? Looking at the website it seems to cater heavily towards "marketing sites, blogs, e-commerce websites". I'm wondering if this is reflected in the design and dev experience or if it could be used for "generic" websites too.

Also it's frontend framework agnostic and you can mix and match. So you can have a dynamic react component, with a static Astro component, svelte component all in the same page on theory. https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/ https://docs.astro.build/en/concepts/islands/ Then for backend stuff it kinda depends on how you deploy it. It could just be a single monolithic server or serverless per API route and probably everything in between.
