This is so interesting.
At this point I would settle for just stability for a few years. I maintain a large portfolio of personal & client sites - so far using my own framework & cms has provided close to 8 years of stability- no updates needed despite new versions of PHP.

But I want to start using a modern framework like Laravel for future projects, but I dread a future where every 6 months or so I have to migrate a long list of sites.

It's a trade-off: stability vs features/modernization.
