Is there such a thing as a static ActivityPub timeline, something like Hugo, by compatible with Mastodon? Or is that nonsensical?

There's a discussion about that here involving one of the spec authors:

It's not nonsensical. It's not doable, though, either—owing to fundamental assumptions/flaws in the protocol (where "protocol" here refers to the Mastodon-compatible implementations that are in actual [read: majority] use today).

It wouldn't take much to fix it, though, and it should be fixed. TPTB really should have focused on enabling your use case from the beginning.
