I plan to use ReportLab and/or Geraldo in an upcoming projects as they seem to be the best out there. In response to your criticisms:
ReportLab. "Too low level" which I translate to mean this is a tool you can customise to do exactly what you want. In the same way Django is *not* a CMS and requires "some" work to build any website. Geraldo. "lacks a few features" - welcome to the wonderful world of open source. Someone else has already done a whole chunk of work; now you can make it even better by adding in those features and contributing back so the whole community can benefit.
