They can be simple in theory but also big time sinks if you are susceptible to that kind of thing. I feel like a gambling addict trying to set these things up sometimes. If you aren't getting anywhere after a little while, cut your losses and bail
I have had best experiences with the ones that are "documentation"-oriented like mkdocs.
Make sure to consider the environment required to run the generator and avoid anything that will be excessively fragile or that require you to run a whole tool chain you wouldn't otherwise have installed. And may be in conflict with your OS.
As with all open source, "customizable" is a euphemism for "you will need to read a lot of documentation and futz around in a bunch of configuration files in order to obtain even basic functionality".
