For me. Yes, it would be missing features. I have a self hosted blog, the source is on github, there's a trigger on commits.

This sucks compared to wordpress because the UX in wordpress is much better than github and especially because there is no "preview".

There's also no easy way to upload images etc. Certainly not as easy as wordpress.

I'm not going back. I'm just saying "modify the remote file system and trigger a build" is far from what I want.

Sounds like previews is the main thing missing though? I don't consider github to be similar to a remote filesystem, because like you said certain simple things like uploading images and other arbitrary data isn't easy.
