I switched my site to static and it's become hassle-free to deploy ever since. Just copy the files anywhere and you're done. I assume it can't be DDoSed either, though I don't think nobody has ever tried (or they did and I didn't notice).
By using Cloudflare APO my site is essentially static. The origin can go down and 99% of pages and all the associated resources can still be served.
For our business use case WordPress is a necessity and so switching to a true static solution simple isn't feasible (we acquire and merge other content sites. 99% of content sites being sold are built on WordPress so being in the ecosystem is critical for this reason and many others)
