At what point do businesses usually outgrow plugin-heavy WordPress setups operationally?

I’m not talking about traffic scaling specifically.

More from an internal operations perspective:

* editor workflows

* maintenance predictability

* plugin dependency complexity

* admin usability

* content governance

I keep noticing that many growing businesses struggle more with operational complexity than pure performance issues.

Curious where others usually draw the line between:

“WordPress is still enough”

vs

“custom systems start making more sense.”
