Exactly, this is the key point. If it’s a website that literally will never change then fine (edit: what I mean here is if you are confident WP can meet your needs without resorting to hacks, and can meet your future needs - in my experience, it’s when more functionality gets added on by random developers that things get messy, true of development in general though!).
I guess using headless WP might help? The clients I’ve worked with who’ve had WP sites in the past have made a point of saying they definitely don’t want WP again (due to security nightmares, usability etc) so honestly haven’t investigated it too deeply recently.
