I'm hesitant to switch to the block editor so I can't say how it plays with that. In the Classic Editor though, the Shortcodes Ultimate plugin is smooth. Makes styling content a breeze, saving time manually tinkering with CSS for dividers, inserting columns, accordions, content boxes, and the likes. I'd imagine with less "additional CSS" added to themes, the site speed won't be bogged down. Anything I have tried with a page builder slowed the site down. Using this, the same styling can be done that a visual page builder would do, yet it doesn't take ages to load the editor. Terrific plugin and plenty of design elements in the free version too.
