SSI was made for you. Actually, I think you have hit the nail on the
head as to why you need SSI.

If in the future you need to do more complex stuff, like have a
dynamically generated menu, or want to move to templates, then PHP is a
more powerful alternative.

PHP is a server-side programming language, and so you have a lot more
options, but can still include one file in another.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
