Honestly I think static site generators tend to invite tinkering (I know I do nonstop!). I think for “simplest blogging experience” just using Wordpress and avoiding static site generators is the way to go.

Yeah I have switched back and forth between WordPress and Hugo a few times. Every time I am using Hugo, my writing declines but I spent a lot of time tweaking CSS. This might be due to the fact that I am using code editor (vs code) to write blog posts, so I switched to a writing editor (iA Writer). That helps a bit but still it is so tempting to keep tweaking look n feel.
These days I am back on WordPress mostly because I want to focus on writing now.

Wordpress is good as a CMS. But when it comes to themes, I really think the selection available is not good at all.
Compare https://wordpress.org/themes/ to https://themes.gohugo.io/
In Wordpress I also miss the ability to use Markdown.
