Given how crufty Wordpress is, I don’t even dare to imagine how bad the Tumblr backend must be that this is seen as an improvement by the developers.

Right? At this point I’m just sticking with WordPress because I can’t be bothered to migrate a bunch of sites off of it. Every year for the past decade it’s felt jankier. Tumblr’s backend has to be a dumpster fire for this to seem like a good idea.
My criticism aside, WP still has the convenience factor of being the open source web platform that has a plugin for just about any need. Whether those plugins are gonna break for site or introduce interesting new vulnerabilities is a different discussion.

Same boat here. I had some good times with it but these days it seems to be a bloated mess. Are there any good, lightweight alternatives these days?

Depends on what exactly you want to host. If you want commercially-hosted stuff, I’d stick with wordpress or whatever your host offers, but if you’re selfhosting I’d look in !selfhosted@lemmy.world or github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?….

I suppose what I'm looking for is a lightweight, multi-user CMS, with support for both static pages and a blog. If the blog could support (at least one-way) federation that'd be a bonus. It should ideally be built to work with both desktop and mobile devices (so that I can customise the look rather than build it from scratch).
It's something I could build from scratch but if I can do it then I'm sure lots of more skilled people have done it better!

Wordpress is all of those except lightweight, though I wouldn’t really say it’s a bear to manage either. I believe they have initial activitypub support as well.
You can check the selfhosted list for alternatives, but I don’t think I’ve seen one that would be a better fit.

I mostly find the design of WP clunky as all hell. I'd like to add some features to my site and doing so feels tremendously awkward. Learning how to implement stuff in their way of doing things doesn't feel worthwhile to me, I guess.
