Right now I am hosting my NextJS application using Vercel, and am attempting to add a blog via Netlify CMS. It seems like all the documentation I find online points to having to use Netlify. Is there any reason not to use Netlify instead of Vercel?

If you are thinking of using Netlify CMS, regardless of the frontend you are using, it would be smoother process to deploy it to Netlify, compared to Vercel. I've heard some people had some issues and encountered more steps todo deploying such app to Vercel.

    I see what you're saying. I've really enjoyed Vercel so far. I'm sure the experience is similar on Netlify. I ended up making an MDX blog for my site instead of using Netlify CMS – drewkiimon Mar 18 '21 at 14:33

    @drewkiimon I totally feel you - using vercel was (and still is) a great experience for me as well. Funny enough, I switched my personal site to MDX blog with vercel too! – Will Kim Mar 18 '21 at 15:20

    Good choice my friend! Especially if it's just you or other coders writing posts, it's perfect to use MDX. If you want to see my code let me know! Or you can look at my personal website (I think it's on my profile). – drewkiimon Mar 19 '21 at 14:27
