Tina is not a CMS

For me, personally, I'm happy with VCS-centric workflow... I push a change to git, Netlify picks it up, and fires the build process automatically. I think that'd need to be sovled for small businesses, as the changes are local only (and considering that such a blog is very likely to be executed in a container, that'd make no sense).

I'm currently using Netlify CMS on my Gatsby site for the blog bit. Any reason I should switch to this?

Wow, this looks pretty amazing. I can totally see setting up a Gatsby site with the Tina plugin as a website for small or medium businesses. For me, personally, I'm happy with VCS-centric workflow...

I’d like to see version control turned into a first class API that just happens to have source code as one of its payloads.

I’ve worked on so, so many apps that you could loosely characterize as a CMS. I like to say we don’t have a developer shortage, we have too many custom CMS apps sucking up manpower.

I love static sites and made some using Hugo. A year later i've started working with WordPress and its ugly/nice (it depends) Gutenberg editor and to be honest, having a look at the quality (yes, there are a lot of excellent plugins and a lot of bad ones) and the availabilty of plugins,i think WordPress is the only platform to go for business oriented websites where seo, caching and other things matters a lot. I've been using wp on production and i'm very happy with it and even if it's far from perfection, even common users learn easily how to use it. Static site generators look like something build for developers instead of non-developers users. What i really miss on WordPress is the capability to produce a static site from a WordPress installation and use netlify for hosting. I know there are some plugins for that purpose but i still haven't tried them.
