May be an overkill for a simple blog
Django CMS project is a large and complex project, comparable to Wordpress. As such, it may be too much for a simple personal blog considering that it has many features that may never be used in that particular occasion.

You can double click items to edit them or add pages directly on the website (as long as you're logged in as admin). It simplifies content creation and touch-ups.

Easy to extend

Extendable
Although Wagtail comes with only the most basic features, it's by no means an incomplete CMS. It's very extendable and it's up to the developer to choose how to extend it.

You need to be experienced in Django to get the most of it
Installing Wagtail on a remote server is a little more complicated than FTPing a bunch of files. Furthermore there's no ecosystem for plugins and themes so it can only be fully extended by a developer experienced with Django.

Great separation between developers and editors
Wagtail has the perfect separation between developers and editors. It allows you to construct a site with minimal fuss with features like the awesome stream field and hand it over to virtually any content editor. You can build the site with no knowledge of Django and with the simple interface require no training to get started. Although this will always require developer time, with 2 or 3 days you can quickly get up a boilerplate site that will fulfill 80% of any site you will develop. Leaving only the bespoke parts to do. It also nicely slots into any Django project with no fuss.
