The article says "Unfortunately, Jamstack tools require an initial setup and an initial (and continuous) learning" but with the bare minimum, static website generators are nothing more than glorified template engines.

I'm using Hugo and for my purposes, I always start without any theme. Basically, I start to write a markdown file for each page, and an HTML template, then if I need more complexity I have the power available underneath.

Static website generators are not necessarily complex to use, and they generally stay compatible from version to version so you only need to learn the new features and only if you want to use them.
