I run my personal site off of Hugo. You can load some decent themes and adding new content is a relatively painless process.
But I do feel like there is a cost to using static site generators. Raw HTML is easier to work with if you aren't dealing with a lot of similar pages.

I have a bicycle shop's website in Hugo, full generation takes about a few dozen seconds, upload using rsync easily a minute because of many nested directories with images. I ended up writing a script to only upload changed html and new images unless needed.
