They seem to recently position themselves as a Wordpress alternative. There is a blog post about migration from Wordpress to Payload including code: https://payloadcms.com/blog/how-to-migrate-from-wordpress-to...

No, it's a Headless CMS, so no frontend themes and templates. They have an official demo page including a frontend, that you can base your work on: https://github.com/payloadcms/public-demo

If you are looking for a Wordpress-clickety click solution with templates, Payload is not a candidate.

I think any solution that does not use PHP will not replace WordPress for most users, unless WP itself stagnates. "Anyone" can install Word press on a cheap shared hosting device and get started. That's why I think a real WP alternative will need to be based on PHP (Laravel?)

I've migrated from WordPress to Laravel-based CMS before. There's Statamic, but it's not free, though. It's good, my users love it and I can easily add functionality in contrast to WordPress, you'd have to install a plugin or dig into the digustingly messy code. Hated it.
