I have been thinking about what solution is for this. Do you think users would be happy with a WordPress backed headless app?

The other issue is that visual content editing in WordPress is pretty tricky. Site owners want cool modern design, but editable in the WordPress admin, and meeting them in the middle has proven difficult using Gutenberg. They often find the new UI brittle and difficult to work with, even for core WP blocks. The developer experience is also pretty cumbersome.

If anyone has found an idiomatic approach that works, I'd love to hear it!

There's a new (official) UI system in the works that aims to solve usability issues in WordPress components.
