Re:Using a Framework will harm the maintenance of your software

Small REST APIs are usually not very small because they hit the database to perform useful operations, must be tested etc. Furthermore a framework enforced common structure shortens the onboarding time for any developer regardless of the seniority.
I've usually used Flask and even when I needed a few db operations you could easily contain that to a small part of the code and stepping up to django would have felt like a huge step up in complexity. But I guess it really depends on what you're actually writing - your use case sounds a bit like "something like wordpress" from a "customer uses this" point, and mine were mostly "small REST API endpoint for something".
