JAMStack would also be my preference too in fact my portfolio website is JAMStack. I would never go back to using Wordpress it is far too basic and PHP has fallen in popularity. Wix and Squarespace are only appropriate for non coders which consequently is a problem for all of us developers as those platforms are now giving our potential clients a way to create websites themselves.
And I think these days it's now essential for developers who plan on doing freelance to know how to use a Headless CMS. That is the one thing Wordpress is good for creating a GUI for non coders to use. Its a very hard sell to convince a client that what you can offer is better than a Wix, Squarespace or Wordpress website because they are not techy like we are.
I had one potential client who already had an existing website built using Wix and they could barely understand how to even use it properly as they were not tech savvy. So they obviously did not understand anything about technical stacks and why they should switch from Wix 😅

I can pretty much agree 100% with your points, very valid!
