Static site generators were popular about 10 years ago. I inherited a legacy install of a popular one called Collage. It was more or less a nightmare to work with and a PITA compared to what you can do with a proper CMS. SSG's aren't the solution for most, if any, modern cases. You more or less have all the problems of a CMS, save security, and all the headaches of a deployment system in one, without the ease of things like add-ons or extensions.
A lot of your dynamic stuff will be custom code, so you have all the security problems as well, except without a worldwide community of coders reviewing your stuff. I've seen what jr webdevs or rushed sr devs do and its horrible. I'd rather take my chances with WP. From a monetary perspective loading up a module is much easier than constantly reinventing the wheel.
