Referenced at @hugoconf today:

Cloudflare (in 2022) migrated from Gatsby to Hugo to work around almost hour-long build times (for a project with 1600 markdown files).

It makes me think of the Jamstack pivot to include on-request rendering models that sacrificed the benefits of SSG to solve problems introduced by slow build tooling. In this case, Cloudflare swapped back to Hugo rather than over-complicate their architecture.
