If nobody else edits the documents you could first export them to Markdown or HTML. Pandoc handles that reasonably well.

That only matters if you want to use the more interactive features of Emacs' org-mode. I only use Vim and still write everything in .org files. I just like how it's got a simple syntax and also enough flexibility to handle everything.
I set up a keybinding that lets me convert the file to a PDF by calling Emacs in batch mode (unfortunately there's no other correct and complete parser).
In the end Markdown isn't bad, but I don't like how basically every platform and tool adds their own special flavor.

I did something similar for awhile but felt like I was net negative in effort to gains. > In the end Markdown isn't bad, but I don't like how basically every platform and tool adds their own special flavor. Yeah I stick to a known safe subset, including legacy newline behavior, and only a few extensions to that. (highlight and checkbox off the top of my head)
