9. WordPress isn't "so much better"

It's a big pain. I was just TODAY searching in my Dashboard for a page I can access from the URL (like I'm just a browser), but cannot find to modify. It's not on the list of pages or posts. This would not happen with plain old HTML sites.

I am threatening to go back to using good old Front Page and an FTP uploader.

You could copy each page (just, you know, from the URL), and paste it into a Squarespace or Front Page site, and modify it from there.

Or you could just go with a minimal Wordpress site. It will do everything you want, but perhaps in a more complex way.
