I think its fine when the front page looks a little bit more like a documentation. Flink is no fancy hipster app, our users are either sysops running it on a cluster or developers programming against APIs. I think the new website will convince this target audience.
I agree with you that aligning the vertical separators might help visual structure of the page. I think we "only" need to center the vertical separator between the getting started and the blog/community section. The positioning of the first line is fine, in my opinion....
