I just wrote a book in Latex and it’s really easy. You just learn as you go. The only problem was when a publisher required a docx-document. It was possible using pandex, but my end notes were all screwed up.
The learning curve is actually pretty manageable.
Took me an afternoon to be good enough to create lab reports for Uni. Creating your first template takes a bit but isn’t super hard. Afterwards you can reuse that and only need to tweak.
This is the Tutorial I used.
For an editor I’d suggest VSCode with LaTeX Workshop. (There’s also LTeX which is a great grammar and spelling checker)
I typically use libreoffice, but if I ever have the time to learn latex I’ll switch, I’ve heard nothing but good things aside from the learning curve
