I'm planning to go through this recent thread of WordPress alternatives:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fsie1i/top_word...

Any others that people recommend? Will be looking for a basic website platform, blog is secondary, no e-commerce, minimal use of plugins, open source and hostable, where everything can be done in a Web UI with exception maybe of site templates. API would be nice to help with conversion from WordPress.

ClassicPress would be the most painless transition. It is basically WordPress without the block editor. Most plugins and themes are compatible.

I also think Classicpress would make the transition smooth.

HTMLy also seems to be similar to what you describe. I've been trying it out with a couple of basic projects, and it seems to be a good option that I don't see many people mentioning.
