It really depends what you want or need to do. The R Markdown/Bookdown stuff is good to create web pages of mostly computing and graphics material. If you need to create PDF documents with a lot of math content (read: equations), you cannot escape the LaTeX "overhead". At its roots, Markdown is a simple language to do simple things. The Internet is filled with questions of the type "How do I do this in R Markdown" to which the answer sums up to: "include this piece of LaTeX in the code". I consider myself a heavy user of literate programming: I use it for pretty much all my teaching material. And everything remains based on LaTeX and Sweave. The one other thing I'm happy I learned to streamline my workflow is 'make'.
