One major drawback that I had with Gatsby is that it does not allow for partial building. We have some customers with thousands of products that sometimes constantly update. Which needs to be pushed asap to the site. So that would require a rebuild of all those pages.

More than 1000 "items" is a no go to Gatsby. Use Next.js instead

Hi Rodolpho, as per your requirements you may also find Frontity useful, very similar to Next.js but 100% focused on WordPress.
