I'm in charge of updating my company's outdated website, which was originally built on WordPress. We're aiming to refresh the content and add a product catalog. Currently, the site feels cluttered, slow, and old-fashioned, and since I haven't worked with WordPress in years, I'm considering switching to a different CMS. Here's a quick overview of the site structure: there's a homepage, about us page, news/updates section, photo gallery, product catalog, a contact page, and possibly a careers page with job listings and application forms. I have a few requirements: I need it to support multiple languages, be PHP-based (as I'm more comfortable with PHP than Node.js), include an admin panel for managing pages, photos, and products, and provide user roles and permissions. I'm looking for recommendations on CMS options that would suit this scenario, or if WordPress might still be a solid choice for my needs.

Honestly, given your familiarity with WordPress, sticking with it might be the easiest option. You can use some modern page builders to streamline the process and add beautiful designs without having to learn a whole new system. Plus, there are a ton of plugins to help with the product catalog too! What do you think?
I really wouldn't recommend that. WordPress has become quite bloated, especially if you're not using it for a full e-commerce setup.
