I managed more over 200 WP + WooCommerce shops in my active time in roughly 20 years in the business. I really don't get where that "hard to handle" myth for WordPress comes from... try working with SAP - THATS hell on earth xD

The main question is scale; even 200 wp is a small group, especially if you don't let your customer install what they want from the store, and the store that you have don't have custom code in it, that needs to be tested, or are regionals store that doesn't need to scale.And in any case, wp is not modern, it tries to stay up to date, but it is a monolithic software, which means you have disadvantages.
- Lower security because the frontend has access to the DB, which allows more exploitation.
- Front-End and backend are together; this doesn't allow you to scale quickly/easily.
- Plugin compatibility with different versions of PHP.
- WordPress is terrible in rollback, you need to use a backup.
- Working on multiple branches is not possible, in some cases not even staging is possible.
Maybe in some cases, the advantages (easy to find a compatible provider, plugin ecosystem, easy to find documentation, visual builder) make it a good option for you, but you can't say that is not a hard solution to maintain compared to a JAMstack solution.
But if you ask me what you should start with, if you want to build an e-shop, I would go on JAMstack almost in all cases, vue and svelte are super easy to learn and you can do a lot with almost 0 understanding of JS or TS, copy and pasting from the documentation.
