How to produce LaTeX document like below?
I would say that it is very close to the kaobook class. Here is the repo. There are docs in the repo, that are written in the kaobook class so take a look and make your own opinion.

\begin{mess}
I can highly recommend kaobook: https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook. Currently writing my Master thesis with that.

Advice on writing a book - on classes, kaobook, and other questions
- I find the kaobook class very nice and complete, and the layout seems to open up a lot of options for integrating a lot of visual information, supplementary texts, etc. Has anyone used it, liked it, any other comments or alternatives?

Kaobook compiling differently with TexLive 2021
I downloaded kaobook template from https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook, it used to compile properly with Texlive 2019 and 2020. However when I try to compile using TexLive 2021, sidenote, marginfigure and marginnote insert the text "pt0pt"

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:
https://github.com/matsavage/DND-5e-LaTeX-Character-Sheet-Te...
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.
