It's better than shared hosting to say the least. I have never hosted anything in GCP that used WP, but I have hosted a big project made in Yii2. My experience with them was excellent.
That being said, I think Digital Ocean will be cheaper and of less hassle (logging in to GCP for the first time using putty can be a pain). I would recommend using DO instead of GCP.

If I avoid the unfamiliar, how on earth will I learn or grow? Thanks for your 2 cents though.
How's the billing? Does it depend on your usage?

If you're interested in a cloud server provider I can recommend AWS Lightsail and digital ocean for a simple blog. You won't need the full google cloud functionality. They are also fixed price. If you deploy via git repo then I can recommend ploi.io for server setup, security hardening & deployment.

I am not sure about the billing as the project was of a client of mine.
You could always check out their pricing page for more info..

Integrity concerns bro. Learned some VPS server specs are not really what they promise.

Not really. Top providers like Vultr, DO, BuyVM, Hetzner always provide what they promise.
Google is too complicated for running a wordpress site imo.

If you are willing to learn, then go for it. I currently have a few sites up on GCP. I learnt everything from onepagezen.com
Okay
Considering performance and affordability, which of those 'top providers' would you recommend?

Just buy yourself some low- to mid-tier VPS and you will enjoy full speed and control over your site(s). Don't really understand those who still use some cheap shared hosting or cloud crap. Just get yourself your very own server, setup mail accounts, SSL certs, panels, hosted stuff, etc. Sky is the limit, really.

Cloud is not crap, definitely not Google Cloud Platform. You need to see what can be done with it and the capabilities of GPC, I bet you will be awed

I agree. DigitalOcean, Linode and Vultr are the go-to multinational (or multinational-like) companies for programmers excluding Google and Amazon. In my opinion, Google and Amazon are more oriented towards corporate systems, especially APIs.

Google cloud is not cheap but you can get 1 year free for new accounts. Their instances are encrypted which is probably one reason for the higher price. Connection is very stable but not as fast as other providers depending on where you locate you server
You can try Hetzner at 3.29usd (2.96eur) that comes with

Google Cloud bandwidth is expensive, starting at $0.085/GB. Whereas in DigitalOcean you have free 1TB bandwidth.

if you're starting with new website, and you not have much traffic. I suggest just start with share hosting that fit with you.
When your website expanding, and more traffic then you can upgrade the plan to vps. There're many good provider, like Fastcomet
