I think netlifyCMS is awesome as it is free to use! However, I don't really know if it's the best CMS for client projects, because it requires a GitHub repo and therefore some technical-literated person to fix bugs etc.

Valid argument.
But what is the alternative? Strapi on a server with a Database? What about doing backups? Isn't it even more complicated? In a git-based CMS you can at least undo all changes, which isn't that easy with a database.

Yes, hosted providers, such as Contentful would be easier to use but it literally comes with a price...

What would be your favorite pick?

For clients, I would go with contentful. Quality and service is never free, so I think they should go with the easiest and smoothest solution instead of the cheapest.

However, you got a point with git-based backups.
