My 2c:

Anki got it right with

    [$] ... [/$]

    [$$] ... [/$$]
I often change the mathjax defaults to these in my own documents. Never ever had a clash.

Worst case scenario? If you need to type a literal "[$]", insert an empty span or something.

No need to mess with "backticks vs no backticks" semantics at all.
