It is true that Drupal changes are significant between major version releases (6, 7, 8). That said the changes are improvements, if somewhat painful. Be cautious about contributed modules. Some are of questionable quality and most of the Drupal security advisories I see are related to contributed modules not the core. I run Drupal 8 on OpenBSD 6.0 with good results. Will be moving to 6.1 soon. Note that you do need nginx as well, since httpd will not (as far as I can tell) handle the URL rewrites that Drupal demands. https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/recipes/drupal/ These days I would not worry much more about PHP than Python or Ruby but perhaps I'm naive.
