Bookmarked because I'm in the same boat as you (though leaning towards moving from WP to SSG development because some of the "coding" is so much simpler).

That said, I wouldn't dive into Wordpress these days without learning about writing Gutenberg blocks to better control the CMS look and feel itself.

I feel like just developing themes might be a little bit of an old-school mindset?

What is SSG?
WordPress is a precondition for my use-case, because of the many very good PlugIns for interactive stuff (booking, calendar etc.)
Not going to work as WordPress developer, so I might have a different situation :)

A static site generator.

I'm not sure I'm going to need so many plug-ins for my next project if I choose the right SSG and CMS combo. Just a couple of for loops surrounding HTML blocks here and there.

Not to send you down a rabbit hole...
