I have used Markdown before (https://dillinger.io/) so wouldn't have a problem with using it again as long as on page SEO isn't any extra effort. I am not sure how I would use Markdown and then add the content to the blog to be deployed and if that is going to be much harder than a headless CMS, I would go for the headless.

Useful rescources for this are: Markdown Cheatsheet and Markdown Editor

And of course Dillinger itself is open source with a public repository on GitHub.

This site is built on CodiMD, which seems like a really cool platform for editing and publishing markdown: https://github.com/hackmdio/CodiMD

I guess this is a competitor to services such as overleaf [1] and codimd [2]. Although this is yet another syntax, it seems to be supported by pandoc [3]. Lately, I have been using Quarto [4] more and more as I program in R, which also produces very nice outputs, especially HTML. But none of these solve the academic usage problems of (1) producing nice diffs for reviewers, and (2) can easily be shared with, and commented by, non-technical collaborators. Thus, I fear Word will be difficult to replace for many years, at least in my field, for scientific writing

Honestly, it might be better to use a realtime collaboration service. If you need to you could automatically sync this with the GitHub version by pulling updates on a schedule.

I've used hackmd.io for real-time collaboration in Markdown. They even offer an open-source self-hosted version, https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd. There may be other services as well.

Their community edition is.

As a fan of "text" I know it. I am running "CodiMD" - this is a selfhosted HackMD for collaborative editing text. This has lots of nice renderers built in for diagrams etc. https://github.com/hackmdio/CodiMD

I was going to suggest CodiMD but it seems these 2 are very similar?

I think this would work. The project HackMD is based off of.
