I would consider going the headless cms route. So the front end would pull data in by API end points. This way I could build out a front end as the default but it would be optional. People with the skills to do so could then create custom front ends using React, VueJS, WordPress, vanilla php or JavaScript or whatever they wanted. Anyway, lots to consider...
