Using wordpress as a CMS with 100k pages

Question

Can the wordpress back office still run well with 100k pages? Did anyone do this in combination with ACF ?My use case: I do static page generation with Elder JS and I need content creators to be able to contribute and edit content. ACF would be really practical to set up the data structures I need.

I've seen WordPress server as many pages at an enterprise level with lots of traffic. WordPress is a great option, and will server as many pages as you need well with decent caching.

The creators of ElderJS have something like 50k pages that they manage, so maybe you should look at what their model is.
Otherwise use Strapi, Directus, or some other open-source headless CMS.
There's no reason to start a new project with WordPress today. It is a dumpster fire.
