I wanted to update here: I did a rather major pivot toward adopting Dendron, so I want to make sure to mention it here. My long-term goal is to use LaTeX and other tooling that make use of the Markdown notes and docs I take in Dendron. I have converted my main website over to using it: icanteven.io/

A major difference for Dendron is that it isn't just meant to be a publishing tool from a CLI, though that is a definite feature. Dendron is a VSCode / VSCodium extension that provides an excellent UX for knowledge management in general, which the other tools (such as Hugo, Sphinx, Jekyll, etc.) don't have. This has made my life easier, and having the ability to pull documentation from multiple vaults (git repos of documentation) into a single workspace, and to selectively publish a collection of documentation, is really cool.

Now, I've even joined the Dendron team! We cross-post under the Dendron dev.to org here, and the documentation is at wiki.dendron.so. I highly recommend it, and to checkout the growing Discord Community.
