https://github.com/react-page/react-page is fully open source with a simple JSON data model and multi-language support; we’ve built various utilities for auto-generating content. Invest a few days in customizing CSS and you have a world-class WYSIWYG for your own design language. Highly recommend.
The problem you're describing is exactly why I'm working on [Primo](https://primo.so).
WordPress makes content editing easier, but damages the developer experience. So devs reach for JS frameworks in search of more productivity, but then the content editing experience suffers.
I found the solution was to embed a code editor in the CMS itself. As strange as it sounds, removing the distance between the content and code means that devs can build and modify components and whole sites (which are made of both) in a tenth of the time while giving content editors the page-building powers they love.
https://www.plasmic.app/ has done this since its inception. It is a page builder that has drag and drop content editing, integrates with arbitrary codebases and modern frameworks like NextJS, and builds static (or non static) sites that are hosted on Vercel/Netlify/etc. (I work on this.)
