Don't create more work for yourself. If the site is running well on WP-Engine and the cost is bearable, it sounds like time is the limiting factor.

You have been doing this because it is something you love, I think it might be time to find a small community of other people who also love the topic area and get them to contributors! A friend of mine runs a news/blog type site (The New Artemis) and she accepts submissions, reviews for gear, etc. She currently does most of the work but has a plan for bringing in new folks who are also obsessed EDC/survivalist fans to create and edit content.
