I second this. The only reason my blog is so complicated is that I get so much traffic that I have to overengineer it. Your blog doesn't need to be as complicated. Underthink things now so you can overthink them later. A friend of mine wasn't satisfied with Hakyll and ended up making her own thing on top of Deno and Fresh: https://twilightsparkle.fly.dev/, and she's super happy with that now.
Please keep at it with writing! It's a super valuable skill that so few people actually use. It really sets you apart in the job market and is so underrated from a professional standpoint.
I have only written one article at the moment, but I am glad I got started with it. I hope to keep adding to it over time and have a few articles in the works.
