Last time I had to deal with emails, I've used https://mjml.io/ and was very happy with it. You can version the templates, compile them as part of your build pipeline and it seems to do produce very _adequate_ HTML full of tables that looks good on all clients that we tested.

How’s responsive design with mjml?

Creating precise multi column responsive designs that work both in outlook and sane email clients is a nightmare.

I've been using MJML for a few years now, I can't imagine even trying to build a responsive email without it. I don't even have to think about it.

You may still have to slice images, but it's grid/column support has worked great for me.

Does it support things like rounded buttons in outlook? (Require use vml with hard-coded widths)
Doesn't seem to be able to automatically embed images as data urls though. That would be very very nice. Or perhaps it does and I just missed it myself?
