I wrote my bachelor thesis in markdown with inline mathtex(?) and compiler it from there with pandoc.

I also tried from/to HTML and the result is just bad. HTML isn't suited at all to write scientific documents with proper formatting.

Also I still need to do some things directly in latex and include them with inline latex in markdown.

So no HTML+CSS isn't suited for this at all.

At least for now where scientific papers are still DIN A4 real paper based/targeting.

Maybe it's time to change that. People read papers a lot in 24" Monitors, tablets, laptops and e-book readers for all of this the current formatting sucks.

You can definitely generate good scientific PDFs from HTML and CSS, combined with tools to generate SVGs from your LaTeX/MathML. I've converted a fair number of textbooks from print to high quality digital and print hybrid PDFs.

The learning curve is pretty high though. If you're not a web developer already, there are better options out there.
