Org-mode has a similar feel to Markdown, exports to LaTeX, and allows you to embed LaTeX snippets so that you can keep using the Org file as your source of truth, rather than eventually having to do a full switch and edit the LaTeX document full-time.
Another very neat feature is Org-Babel, which allows you to write code in (almost) any language that is then replaced with its output, which is great for example code. It can even pipe stuff through PlantUML, allowing you to embed your diagrams into the source code rather than having to manage them separately.
As an example of what it looks like at scale(-ish), I used this to write my thesis paper[1], and all the other related documentation[2].
