New comment by icebraining in "Static site generators need less rigid content APIs"

So for those case, the solution is to use a CMS like Wordpress. Which I don’t want.

There are already a few CMSs for static sites, much like the solution you've made. The old-school one is Movable Type, but nowadays there's also one by Netlify, Publii, Siteleaf and a few others. There are also plugins for Wordpress that generate static sites from it (meaning you don't have to expose WP itself to the outside world).

That said, making your own solution can be the best option.
