I feel like Hugo / Jekyll (or equivalent) + GitHub Pages (or equivalent) is much much easier to set up. Is the resiliency really needed for your personal blog? Github Pages (which I use for my blog [0]) is pretty good at uptime afaik.
I also feel like Jekyll plus GitHub Pages is the easiest solution. I feel it is more minimal than the posted product. Jekyll plus GitHub is free, and aside from an initial setup and small learning curve, it is basically automatic. I am getting ready to publish my blog, and it's been nice to be able to customize things (like adding in MathJax support).
