    _t_z_ I would always go for SharePoint Online over something like Wordpress as you can have collaborative editing on documents and you've got all the other Office 365 apps which can be embedded in your pages. For example, you've got web parts to embed a video from Stream or YouTube, an app from Power Apps or a form from Microsoft Forms. You can trigger flows in Power Automate. You've got connected web parts, the news web part, lists, document libraries, quick links, file viewer, text and image web parts.  There are very likely many widgets you can add on a Wordpress page that don't exist in SharePoint but I find that keeping everything in the Office 365 environment is much neater. Our intranet, IT Ticketing System, Software Request System, Video Library are all in Office 365 and accessed from our SharePoint intranet.
