I'm allergic to LaTeX ;-), but initially used SILE, which is a modern reimagining of TeX/LaTeX. It reads Markdown natively, so I could push the content in directly and style it for the printed page. However, SILE is still very early in development, and I had some major problems with baseline alignment. It turned out to be far less of a pain to do it in InDesign, even with the need to write conversion scripts. Source: about 1 year ago

Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian. Source: about 1 year ago
