Performance is not only technical
When a content model is unstable, templates become unstable too. Engineers add exceptions, editors work around structure, and pages become harder to cache, compose, and reason about.
Stable models create cleaner templates
If the shape of a page is reliable, the implementation can stay lighter. The interface becomes easier to index, easier to navigate, and easier to extend later.
