LaTeX for publishing tabletop role-playing games
> Creating a theme for tabletop role-playing games would take some elbow grease
The article links to several, including a convincing reproduction of basic Wizards of the Coast house style for D&D 5E:
https://github.com/rpgtex/DND-5e-LaTeX-Template
Here's another 5E one with additional sidebar styles:

Also 5E-inspired, with a template for card accessories:
https://github.com/Krozark/RPG-LaTeX-Template
A 5E-compatible character sheet:

CTAN also has packages for Basic D&D-inspired typesetting (rpg-module, also linked from the article), GURPS (gurps), generic hex boards (hexboard), and wargame hex boards with counters (wargame).
There are also indie TTRPGs that've shipped using custom LaTeX templates; this one has CC-BY licensed source: https://github.com/ludus-leonis/nipajin
And the blog author's own, with a more restrictive CC-NC-SA license: https://github.com/Vladar4/itdr
From personal experience, the biggest struggle is non-rectangular text wrapping around images.

What is the current status of Latex?
Started using LateX for academic papers, back in 2002, nowadays I use Latex for almost everything, for my work as a professor - which includes papers I submit and teaching materials I write - but also for formal letters, contracts and even games - see for example D&D 5e Latex. Latex is used for tons and applications in different fields, and its vast library is a small sample of that.

What app should I use to actually write the system?
Use Overleaf, once you know Latex you can create easily a decent write up, especially when you use DND-5e-LaTeX-Template as a basis.

What RPG makes Healing feel cool, or at the very least not a slog

Trouble understanding encounter creation
I recommend downloading masterplan and adding all the 4e bestiary libraries. Master plan has a great encounter builder. You can drag and drop creatures and hazards directly into a combat encounter with a bar that fills up representing the difficulty of the encounter.

Running the game online
Sure thing. You can start here on the 4e discord. You can ask around for help, or look through the various pins to find links to the foundry modules and applications. To make power cards I believe the module you want is Wigmeister2000's 4e Compendium. It will have every power and feat preloaded in a compendium that you can drag and drop onto your character sheets within foundry. For monsters, you will need an app called Masterplan which is used for building encounters, skill challenges, and various other DM related work. You will then need Dracs 4e tools to import your masterplan encounter, with complete monster sheets, directly to foundry. I believe Dracs 4e tools also come with macros for adjusting monster stats to fit MM3 calculations.
