Overall, I find WP an excellent CMS, if done right. Too many plugins, not understanding hooks, and using them in the wrong way, etc may lead to a slow website.
Also, very often converting WP to static might be a great solution and a one better than going headless.
Apart from WordPress, I can also recommend:
Statamic - I even started a series of articles about it for WP developers - - I hope you don't mind the link. It's cool, Laravel-based, flat-file by default.
CraftCMS - similar to Statamic but based on a different framework
Frontmatter CMS - if you like markdown and using your Visual Code Studio
Nuxt Studio - this is only for Nuxt, but I really love the experience
It all depends on your needs. There are so many CMS flavors that it's not a simple task to pick the perfect CMS.
It's a very "it depends" question :)
