WordPress keeps getting better and 5.9 was a big leap forward. The OP should try using a vanilla WP install, use or build a (child) theme that supports blocks, add WP Super Cache to get static site level performance and stop worrying about complex layers of third-party cruft. If you're worried about 'marketing interns' messing with the site, don't give them 'Administrator' roles!

This is a well know issue though. For client work there's just no way that clients don't want to have an Admin user for themselves, in case you part ways etc... Which is absolutely fair. The problem is when the intern forgets its password and instead of resetting it, they get the admin credentials from their boss (been there, done that!).

Well, that’s not a Wordpress failure, that’s an organisational failure.

The middle ground I use is DISALLOW_FILE_MODS set to true.
