What are the best minimalist, text-centric blogging platforms?

Permanence is my concern with the indie blog hosting services mentioned here (bearblog, prose.sh, nicheless.blog)

Also, because you already have a lot of the content, maybe you don't need a blog? what about a "digital garden" ?

If you have your content in a note-taking app like obsidian, there is even simple tutorials on how to freely publish it with all those precious "multiple tags per category", all in one go.

If you're looking for a content management system that you can host yourself it might not be exactly what you're looking for, but you should check out Satellite, a blogging platform that I've been building the last couple years. I've just deployed a major upgrade recently and to be honest am super happy that it seems to be getting a bit of traction.

You can’t beat hosting a plain HTML file on a static server here. You already have directory support with hyperlinks, and there is no Web technology today that will have more persistence when it comes to a template API. It’s as close as you can get to Just Works on the Internet.

Something like this Hugo theme maybe: https://github.com/LukasJoswiak/etch?
