Hi, I share the feeling about WP, I think it was overkill before LLMs and now I think it's obsolete. I had used simpler CMS like wolfcms on php and radiant on rails (ancient stuff) and wanted something similar.
I had created my own browser-side pure js CMS using indexeddb as database and it was OK but still acting like a site generator, with templates -> pages.
I then asked myself, site data is structured, HTML provides structure, why not just make sites editable. So I am doing just that. The cms is a collection of web components that provides navigation and content editing, the page edits itself. It's a alpha quality right now, you will hear about it somewhere here in a few days.
I would not worry about projects being "AI slop" as the results are easily testable and decoupled from the code that produces them.
About being dependent on app servers and frameworks, do not underestimate the power of statically hosted vanilla js apps in modern browsers. Yet if the LLM you code in knows the framework it can keep the code updated, so using frameworks or going solo is not that huge of a deal. Happy hacking!
