I have observed my wife writing her PhD in M$ word, and indeed when editing either pictures or references the whole pages would shift, requiring post editing all subsequent sections. When I was writing mine I used markdown with pandoc to compile to either LaTex or pdf. When we compared our processes we approached the ground that text rendering shall be done separately exactly for the reasons of editing, as well as reference handling. Unfortunately, when she started she wasn’t exposed to those methods, nor by university; and the steep learning curve did not allow to switch in time. Those addressed points will much likely make the experience of writing on scientific topics much more pleasurable and efficient.

I wrote my master thesis with this combo, but wrestling with images positions made me turn back to pure Latex.
