Selective use of Nuxt-Content for only part of the app possible?

Hiya, trying to set up a project uses nuxt-content to render pages for only certain routes ([/blog, /policy]). The expected target is Netlify so I have set NITRO_PRESET=netlify locally to inspect/debug the output of nuxi build. When I run the build locally I see warnings about isr being the default behavior for Netlify and the "Prerendering" step (which I assume is added by nuxt-content module) does not pickup '/' to output a index.html which causes 404 errors on Netlify. Is what I am trying to do possible? I tried using nitro.future.naitiveSWR = true which makes the warning go away locally but still fails on deployment. I also tried to add '/' to nitro.prerender.routes[] which outputs an index.html locally but still fails on Netlify because of the ISR stuff. Can I do what I'm trying to do or is using nuxt-content supposed to be a site-wide implementation?? Do i need to have an index.md and load data using queryContent('index') in order to get an index.html output?
