Hi Mark,
It works for us because the users adding news are also the users who are administrating the pages. Also, a lot more can be achieved on a page than a classic news text box.
If training is a concern, you could perhaps just show users how to add/edit a modern text web part on the page? Separating the articles with a line?
Unfortunately, I do not think there is anything you can do with the permissions issue you mentioned, it's ok for us, but I can see it being an issue for others. If the news pages were located in a folder in the site pages library, that would allow separate permissions to be set between the news articles and the site pages.

Thanks Simon, but I always sell SharePoint as a great communication tool for users that have little to no technical skills. And some small organisations are loving the ability to use this to share ideas and concepts across the team. But there is no way we could let them lose on the new team sites until the security features take into account the end user communities.
