It is natural for website owners who are not familiar with Drupal to logically consider this option. Please note that Drupal 8 has already reached the end of its life. Here is the drupal.org post that announced this.
Drupal 10
This is launching on 14th December 2022. You could definitely wait for this. Please note that the switch from Drupal 9 to Drupal 10 is easy peasy.
Other CMS - Beyond Drupal
If your current Drupal 7 website is a low-traffic website showcasing just content, you will not go wrong with migrating to other CMSs.

- Commercial - We are not making any recommendations here. But, you can choose from Squarespace, Webflow, HubSpot, and many other website builders.

You should not consider this option.
To sustain this option, you will need a drupal agency providing continuous support. Needless to mention, it will be a very expensive proposition. In addition to managing the agency, the lack of community support will make your website vulnerable to security risks.
