I'm also revamping my website (zola->hugo) and I was debating on whether to have a chronological list, or to separate my posts into cohesive groups. Such as Programming, korean, Self, etc. See [0] for an example.

One could argue it depends what the subject matter is. If it's about a javascript framework, I do need to see that date. What I have now is a boolean I look at for each post, which controls if the date is shown in the post listings (it is always shown on the post itself).
Another argument is the date is relevant because it gives context to the discussion. Of course it would matter if a piece was written in 1829, 1929, or 1931, or even particular months in a year. Posts (and people...) don't exist in a vacuum.
I'm migrating because I wanted to use asciidoctor instead of markdown, and hugo has better support. However I have to maintain a custom fork to get custom params to the asciidoc renderer, and to support asciidoc-diagrams. As far as I'm aware Rust has no good asciidoc crate so I would have to shave the yak and write my own implementation. Yuk.
Zola and Hugo are very similar in features, except for i18n. For most people this isn't an issue, and it's being worked on for Zola.
Also, Zola is written in Rust and Hugo in Go, so one might be more comfortable extending / forking one over the other.
You can check out many Zola examples here [0] and the source code for my website here [1].
