Every problem in computer science can be solved with another layer of indirection.

(And in particular, every design failure related to backwards compatibility can be solved with a virtual environment, evidently)

At what point in this ever deepening well of abstractions does one simply use Wordpress?
Hugo is a static site generator, so I can host my site anywhere that can serve an index.html.

With Wordpress, you have to worry about PHP, a database, etc. It’s the difference between being able to use GitHub pages, and needing either a VPS or shared hosting

As long as you have access to a computer that can run Hugo Version Manager (and who knows what else).

I am being facetious, obviously.

He knows that. :-)
No. Just…no. Replace WP with any other hosted or self hosted solution. Been there. The plugin hell, the security hell, the performance hell…WP has many levels of hell.
