Hi! Sometimes we think it's so much easier to do something from scratch, and maybe it is. I think that we should stop overusing plugins with Wordpress, as you said, the website becomes slower and the mantainances is more difficult.
I don't know if developing a new CMS is the best option for you, I think that you shoul develope a plugin, but like a massive plugin, where you can include all the features of the other 30+ plugins you have, this way you have more control of your code and what it does.
