Before you spend much time on a pure (thus limited) SSG, I recommend taking a close look at https://Remix.run. Remix supports a superset of Eleventy or Hugo (or Jekyll or even NextJS export). It's too new to be considered "boring", but it leverages OG web standards and defaults to web platform-native foundations. Given its provenance and the authors' bona fides, I'm betting heavy it sticks around for the long haul. I'm unaffiliated w the project, but I've been doing web-related things for a living since 1998, and for me Remix is a breath of fresh air and the successor to NextJS as my framework of choice.

That's what people said for Redwood.js. One year later and it's mostly forgotten.

So? "People" may have said all kinds of things about Redwood or the price of rice in China. I never promoted Redwood, and (to engage with your off-base "rejoinder") objectively speaking, it didn't offer any advantages over NextJS. Remix, on the other hand, is fundamentally different from any other framework.
