Found some discussion here, but tbh it's a little light for me not to think that NIH syndrome doesn't come into it?

Wow, Wordpress still use MD5 hashes for passwords? That's really taking backward compatibility with old PHP versions too far!

WordPress
WordPress, Git-ified. This repository is just a mirror of the WordPress subversion repository. Please do not send pull requests. Submit pull requests to https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop and patches to https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ instead.
>Also $wpdb->prepare() uses parametrised values.
They appear to be a hand-rolled PHP version of imitation parameterized values, not the actual database library ones.

elementor
The most advanced frontend drag & drop page builder. Create high-end, pixel perfect websites at record speeds. Any theme, any page, any design.
Fwiw at a previous job we found that using blog vault backup gave us reasonable backups - a way to migrate setups (restore to new host) and workable (if a little clunky) staging environments:
https://blogvault.net/
In addition:
https://elementor.com/
Helped by providing a more reasonable editing experience (for a website - not "just" a blog).
Both of these are paid. I think I would have preferred a managed host that provided backup and staging - but that would probably cost a little more (cash, fewer hours) - than basic php+mysql web host.
Other than those two - I think we got rid of all third party plug-ins, except for a theme or two (different theme for different sites).
Made wp just about manageable.
Personally I still can't stand the wysiwyg "works 90% 80% of the time) editor - but then the marketing people were responsible for updates - and with wp they could do it themselves.

Best of luck on your cms - I must admit I think the future lies with something like deno/fresh (https://fresh.deno.dev) or astro (https://astro.build) along with cdn/edge computing.
> Recently I spun up a site for a client and the plug-ins cost over $1000 just to get them going.
I think that's the wrong way around - you/your client could buy stuff costing a thousand dollars because of the huge wp ecosystem (however dysfunctional it may be - I once looked briefly at how to write and sell a wp theme - and quickly moved on to different pursuits). Now, how much value did you get from that? That's one of the big draws of wp.
Im sure your new system will cover 80% of that - but what about the themes and plug-ins someone else needs?
