I'm currently looking for something even more limited and lightweight, where I, as a developer, can just deploy a static site regulary (e.g. built by hugo), but with a few small sections editable on the front page, like a vacation notice, job openings etc.

Moving everything to a CMS or something like this, seems a lot of work. I'm looking at just using server-side includes for those sections, but haven't found a good editing frontend for that. Just exposing a single file in a git repository and deploying that via some build infrastructure (e.g. build.sr.ht) would be another method. Some live content preview would be nice in either case...

A surprising number of sites don't even need new pages dynamically, like blog articles, but just rather minor edits to a small subset of the content. Small businesses, medical practices etc.

Sounds like you would like Netlify CMS.

You can set it up so it edits a few markdown files, and these files are used in your static build.
