I say this as someone who runs several publicly-facing websites, and also scrapes a few others for use in my own tools: why do people care so much about bots?

WordPress with a cache can handle on the order of 1k requests per second on the cheapest VPS money can buy. An actual proper static site would likely 10x that.

Are you using lambdas or something like that to serve a blog?

Is it basically just OCD? Vulnerability protection? Old habits from a time where crawling really did impact service?
