What are all the federated blogging options available? I know of a few that are mostly clunky in my eyes.

Even more interesting IMO: what are the options that do not involve self-hosting (thus avoiding the PITA of babysitting a domain and server security)?

You don't have to self host Ghost. They charge a very reasonable flat fee.

Did not know that. Useful.

Hosted Wordpress with ActivityPub plugin

Full DB-driven monster for a few bytes of text. Sledgehammer to crack a nut if you ask me. But sure, this is the obvious answer.

Eh... Wordpress isn't that heavy. Probably not as heavy as matrix or even Mastodon. It's a very versatile, expandable and easy to use platform which I'd strongly recommend.

Sure, it's fine. But if I'm only publishing text and photos, and I don't need tons of specialized plugins, and I'm dealing with things myself - then personally I will go with a static-site generator every time. It's at least as fast, and more secure by design.

Yeah, but other people have other use cases and Wordpress is a good option for them
