Democratising Publishing
I gave October a pretty serious look about five or six years ago. I like the fact that you can code in the interface, which can feel more friendly than competing platforms. But I thought the community hadn’t reached a level of scale that I thought was enough that I could trust it.
Also, I know that you have said you’re willing to pay and you’re not necessarily looking for FOSS, but I will point out there was some licensing drama with October a few years ago that led to a full-on fork: https://wintercms.com/blog/post/we-have-forked-october-cms

Ask HN: Where After WordPress?
I have been using kirby (https://getkirby.com/) for all my (mostly non-dynamic) websites with great success the last few years. It's super stable, flexible, under active development and has a great ecosystem.
Can't recommend it enough.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Yoast SEO for non-WordPress sites
If you have mostly static web sites with little work to update, you could try out the flat-file KirbyCMS: https://getkirby.com/ - it is a CMS I tried myself and liked quite much.
I want to point out that it is not an open-source project like Wordpress, but a one-time licence fee you have to pay once you go live with your project.
There is a great community around KirbyCMS who are building plugins for it, for example the SEO tool you want, in this case it is free / "pay what you want" pricing model, so it should be quite affordable: https://plugins.getkirby.com/tobimori/seo

Grav is a modern open-source flat-file CMS
Personally think https://getkirby.com is the entry to beat but I guess it’s just because I’m used to it and it works incredibly well for my use case.

What kind of CMS for custom website?
Check out KirbyCMS. A PHP based files-only CMS. Can also be used as headless CMS. Works on most shared hosts and doesn't need a database. You'll have to do some basic PHP for the templates, though.
