I'm looking for CMS recommendations, including possibly a headless CMS with a statically built site (I'm actually leaning in that direction).
In the past, I would normally just use #WordPress, but with the latest #WordPressDrama, I'm honestly concerned about its future.
The project I'm working on is for my Church. It's not for a single congregation, though. It's a regional thing serving ten congregations across the South Houston, Texas region. Not a huge amount of traffic, but not inconsequential.
Here are some basic requirements. I need it to support multiple users, with role based access. I need some amount of extensibility, as I plan to build out more features over time, including notifications of new content being pushed out to various destinations (SMS, mobile push, etc.). I haven't discussed with the church leaders what the budget is, but I imagine minimizing costs would also be a need. Localization will also be a concern. Seven of the congregations are English-speaking, two are Spanish, and one is Mandarin. So being able to have some content available in all three languages would be beneficial.
Any customization will be built by me, so, a language I'm familiar with, or can reasonably easily learn would be good. So, PHP, go, or node are the best options.
The site will host a few different things. It will serve as a directory of resources for folks with various needs. It will also serve as a hub for announcements.
Right now, I'm looking at a Directus headless CMS, hosted probably on AWS or DigitalOcean, and probably an Eleventy generated site, probably hosted on Netlify or Vercel. But, I'm certainly not married to the idea. And I still haven't completely ruled out just using WordPress, or perhaps even ClassicPress.
It's been so long since I've set up a content-driven site (aside from my own personal sites, which just use hugo), that I'm not sure what the best options are nowadays. Suggestions for hosting are also appreciated.

My company has just announced that there will be a round of layoffs soon. They just laid off a bunch of C-levels. They're giving us the opportunity to "opt in" to "workforce reduction" with a promise of three months severance.
It's been pretty tumultuous here, lately, to be honest, and I'm considering it.
But, I've got a wife and four kids to take care of, and I've never willingly left a job when I didn't have another one already lined up. And we've got good benefits (healthcare and dental) right now, so I really don't want to give that up.
Maybe if I had something lined up with similar pay and benefits, I could do it.
So, I'm looking for any recommendations. I'm a #PHP developer (of roughly twenty years), who has been doing a lot of #golang for the past year, and I've gotten very proficient at that as well.
I'm looking for a US-based company, and a Principal/Staff/Senior Developer role.
