Slightly late to this party, but in my opinion, this doesn't go nearly far enough. This solution will be relevant for 12 months in it's current form. If it adapts further, it might have legs.
I've built Wordpress sites for 12 years. Very few Wordpress developers are trying to swap to a slightly upgraded version of the same thing with no ecosystem and much of the same solutions. This will see some adoption, no doubt, but not a serious dent.
The main reason for that: in 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, this solution will be outdated and unimportant, same as Wordpress. Wordpress will still be kicking because it already has a 40% market share on the entire internet. This, however, will not be.
The CMS is dead tech in six to twelve months. I might have a million people who will disagree with me (and yes, people will still use CMS's after twelve months), but people actually moving into the future will have dropped CMS's for architectures that are AI first with strong, intuitive, easy-to-leverage guardrails.
In my opinion, the vast majority of people are still looking at AI through the lens of "how does it alter my current work/tech stack/strategy" and failing to ask the proper question: "what the hell is even important in a world where AI is as competent as 90% of humans and 100x faster?"
What do you need a CMS for? You think you'll be managing the content? Why? Why do I want a human managing content when the AI does it 100x as fast? Why do I want Astro? It compiles down nicely? Okay, maybe its a god-tier solution, but more likely... AI can just code extremely fast vanilla html/css/js. Why do I need a component library when AI can steal all the best components from all the best libraries? Why do I need "Portable Text"?
This is still not big picture enough. Think further out than 12 months.
