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.

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.
