Two options. One is Notion + Super.so. Notion is easy to use, and it's easy to publish as website with super.so. Not that cheap though.
What I do, grab some shared hosting like @ubernauten and install Wordpress. Updates are automated, so no managing there.
After I've set it up once, I've not done anything managing it.
Any hosted platform seems to be horrible. Owning your data yourself seems to be the way to go.
