It's baffling to me how many "senior web developers" don't have their CV hosted on a website. Regardless of whether it's plain HTML on a CDN or a hectic fully 3d WebGL demo, a senior dev should have a domain with a https secured connection expressly for showing that they can in fact deploy and maintain a production instance.
The recruiter needs a PDF?
Have a version linked to at the top of the document, or let them know that they can just press CTRL+P and your beautiful hand crafted css media queries will lay out an equivalent copy ready to be printed.
Like a lot of the other comments here, a LaTeX resume signals to me that the applicant probably spends more time code-golfing than implementing practical solutions.

Many companies seem happy to miss out on the senior developers who avoid interview requirements to write code to do a fiddly string manipulation test within 2 minutes.

I just don't think this really tells you anything meaningful. At least not with any certainty. I can setup a site on GitHub pages and push to main and that's all I need to do. Virtually no skill is needed to even do this.
