Testing and training should be done on a test server
as well as learning to plug updates and security patches

Staff accessible sections, should not take much training time.

It looks like you have some large traffic and you are probably more than a
“One man show” so I will have a on board a staff member knowing PHP and MySQL for performing maintenance, update, patching etc..
that person should be able to design a new set of templates.

Also Joomla has a large developer community that could at a reasonable cost built a customized system.

Another reason to brainstorm about the move:
SE indexed pages, will the existing indexed pages still exist?
How about page extension?
