Sounds like a good idea to me. Most people would go with the big company in my experience, but your niche is huge anyway. WPEngine seems to be doing alright still (I remember thinking no way would anyone pay for just WordPress hosting... I was wrong), as are the many small website/app/hosting providers/consultancies. |

They raised $250m a couple years ago, and have been acquiring smaller companies like theme shops, local site management tool based on Docker and Electron, etc. They've got a mature platform suitable for businesses, and it looks like they have a very healthy growth trajectory.
On the other hand, for me they're becoming the "big company" in your description, and I'd prefer a self-hosted or at least open-source solution.
