I think it is a bad design that even minor changes on one page trigger a
complete update of the whole site. It might scale for smaller project
with only a few pages and less changes. But it doesn't scale for large
projects as AOO where many people in different areas would like to work
on changes without conflicting with other changes.

The question is if this is really state of the art or if a free
alternative would make more sense and would reduce in the end the
maintenance work.

I am sure their were valid reason for the CMS in the past but I believe
today better tools are in place where more than 1 man stand behind. Well
it's just my personal opinion and I don't really propose a change ;-) I
just wondering and asking this question myself whenever I have to make a
simple change.
