My startup's website is currently built on Gatsby. I originally looked to it because we wanted to get something up very quickly for a tradeshow. 16 months later we've never gotten around to "we redo it down the road". It's still serving us very well.
My thoughts:
Pros:
* I love React, so Gatsby was a natural extension for me. It's very helpful to use the same toolchain/mindset in most places.
* I don't have to learn/forget/relearn all of the stupid bugs in Wordpress/Drupal/etc. Gatsby has some shortcomings, but in general if you've worked with React, you already know where the shortcomings and limitations are.
Cons:
* Deployment isn't terribly straight forward if you have a custom use case. I ended up manually building and serving with a small node script.
* It can be very, very (too easy) to accidentally share a server side ENV variable into the JS build. You have to be very careful not to leak an important key.
