I’m not entirely sure what you mean by userbase, but based on your description it sounds like you could set up a Wordpress docker container with some plugins to handle what you want and then use the Wordpress api for the calls. If you’re looking for like a paid membership situation for the site, there are free and pay plugins that can accomplish the payments and subscription integrations.

I am very reluctant to use WordPress at all because I’ve heard terrible things from multiple colleagues. It looks like something that’d get problematic at some point.

That’s totally fair. Wordpress can accomplish what you want, but also can be a giant nightmare. I ran a membership based Wordpress site for around a decade (self hosted and maintained), and it was mostly okay, but also many times a giant headache. I fully understand wanting to avoid Wordpress.

Wordpress issues lie in using plugins that aren’t maintained or written well. The source and quality of plugins varies wildly.
