> Is that hash at least decoupled from the content?

It sure isn't! IPFS is a content-addressed network. If you want to update your site without changing it's address then you'll need a layer of indirection, such as IPNS, which allows a node on the network to redirect ipns://<my key> to an updatable content hash. This feature has been immature for a while now.

In my experience, Dat is the more mature option, though it seems to lack an official http gateway[0]. Combined with Beaker though,it makes web authoring an absolute breeze.
