At this point using rst is like advocating for Subversion instead of Git(hub). (Which is actually a good metaphor considering where docutils is hosted...)

I say this as a (former) committer to docutils.

The LaTeX support is ok in rst if you want to create something similar to a Word document. If you actually wanted to print a book, you need to use something like my tool, rst2nitrile.

The Python documentation folks seem to be interested in abstracting Sphinx to markdown as well with MyST...

rst is a dead end at this point.
