I agree stick with what works for your business while it works, and hopefully for solid business reasons. In terms of best practice choose the solution that delivers the most customer benefits for the lowest cost.

If I were you I'd keep a very close eye on changing attitudes. Most companies would opt for a CMS if sold the medium term benefits and they aligned with thier own plans. If done properly the build stage of the frontend should be identical for for CMS and bespoke

You just need to be credible, if someone asks about CMS or Cloud you need to give a credible response based on an understanding of thier needs.
