I use quarto: quarto.org
The big thing I like is that it has fulltext local search, built in and easy to enable.
Search is possible on hugo, but it’s not built in, you have to get a plugin, etc etc. Same for many other options you mentioned.

The search is nice, certainly a good thing to have in a blog. It has interesting features, most of which I’ll probably never use. No theming afaics but I’m sure that can be remedied. Your end result certainly looks nice enough.
Why would I otherwise sway from my hard requirements to use this? It is not in Debian’s repositories. However, a simulated install suggests that it has all dependencies bundled. What’s it really based on? Python I guess?

Quarto has theming via several built in bootstrap themes.
Quarto is written in javascript.
Also, it has no template engine/templating. I have a nasty hack where I write python code to output markdown that can be remdered to both html and pdf, but this is probably not what most people making a website want.
