If you don't want to maintain infrastructure, don't adopt the kinds of software stacks created by the kinds of people who have only ever shown a giddiness for producing devops shovelware that assumes/requires maintenance.

Even ignoring that, you run into stuff like this:

> the first wall I hit [trying to update the website] was that I: Forgot [...] the esoteric Hugo conventions (has documentation, but it's not easy to parse at a glance) [...] not sure how I could have remembered all of the Hugo-isms, especially since I don't update this site very often and don't do static site generator work outside of this.

Nothing about this sort of thing is unforeseeable. Don't choose these options.
