What you are describing sounds like a hodge-podge of workarounds.
Like, one solution is "Use SSH, write scripts to facilitate bulk changes, write multiple backend services and front-end JavaScript to interface with them for any actual functionality you want on the site." The other is "Push a button on your blog software." How is the first one "cleaner"? You're basically re-inventing half of a blog with duct tape and toothpicks.
