There are tons of themes available in the market. You can easily use it or customize them.

I've tried it, it's a noble goal. Security was the biggest factor i stopped. you should try and stay laser-focused on your end goal and getting there as quickly as possible. If you don't want to use wordpress there are some really amazing flat CMS's out there that are very lightweight and 10x faster. Most of them are limited just enough to tickle your web dev pickle.

You can use a WordPress theme. Generatepress is a good theme.

Since i'm web dev too and know your feeling i assume that you are looking for confirmation that coding own site better idea 
I had the same question for my blog. Check the Astro framework - IMHO it's perfect for small sites and blogs which focused on content.
You either may use for example Contentfull for managing posts, or write your own API if you are planing to generate content automatically
I personally built "shared" backend + Astro for each site

If you have the skills and resources to code it, you can code your own website and if you want some control and customization over your website, you can try wordpress. Otherwise if you want to have the easiest and fastest way to start blogging, and you don't care about ownership and control, you can try in medium.

Have a look at GeneratePress (shared for free here on BHW by @RoiBox) which can be customized to make a unique blog websites and use any SEO adjustments you need.
