Hey, I work at a small dev agency and we primarily switch between 2 PHP technologies depending on the requirements. These tend to boil down to how large the project is and how much editing the client will do.
We will use laravel for a bigger web application, where the client won't be doing much editing. Obviously laravel is not a one click upgrade but if you use pick a LTS version to build on (6 has just been released) then it'll be supported for a few years with security patches and bug fixes.
The other route we go down is Craft CMS. We use this when a great authoring experience is key and there's lots of client editing. Think if it as a pretty version of WordPress that is built on a stable PHP framework, Yii. This makes it easy to extend as your client requirements grow, it has a one click upgrade and is extremely developer focused. It also has the benefit of only needing to maintain one system, not a separate PHP application and a WordPress installation
Check it out! Hope this helps.
