Emacs for literature
I use something similar, called org-remark. By the description of both, they seem to share functionalities. Just mentioning it for visibility :)

Recommended workflow for using org-roam to read source code and take notes?
org-remark hits some of your requests, but I think lacks the git parts in point 3.

Annotating non-Org documents (primarily PDFs)
Also if you're annotating plain text, org-remark is great. I love not having to use the mouse to select text.

Annotating documents for incremental reading

Issue with pdf-tools on 3k display
Hi, I bought a galaxy book 3 ultra, which comes with a 2880x1800 display with 120hz. I am having a hard time to use github.com/vedang/pdf-tools with it. Sometimes it works fine, but most of the time the scrolling of pdfs gets really slow. If I change the resolution to 1920x1200 it gets back to normal and scrolls smothly. I tried running both on xorg and wayland and got the same result. Also, I tried running on a fresh emacs installation with the only package being pdf-tools, and the issue is still there. Does anybody experienced something similar? I am using emacs 27.1 on PopOS 22.04.

Integrate Zotero pdf notes with org roam
An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

PDF Viewer that Compiles LaTeX Notes?
Possibly: Org-noter and/or PDF Tools.

PDF viewing should work out of the box?
You can install pdf-tools https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools

Just started learning LaTeX. I have a few questions
If you want to avoid extra software from AUR, there's a plugin for Emacs called pdf-tools. Mind you will lose an option to forward/inverse search! AFAIK pdf-tools is supported in ArchLinux, so you could use already installed Emacs as a PDF viewer.

how to run pdf-view by default (and not Docview)
Pdf-view let you annotate the document. See https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools for more features. There are also quiet a few packages that work with pdf-tools.

Share your workflows for highlighting books - roam compatible epub reader with highlighting? nov.el / ereader
