You will be surprised to learn that pandoc uses latex for generating the PDF. It's barely hidden:

I know it ;) But we are talking about how to use something universal. I like pandoc as it is easy to use and… boring.
Your original comment before editing complained about using pdflatex as if it was not part of the pandoc toolchain. It was not about pandoc being universal.
Doesn’t Pandoc just use LaTeX under the hood?
Pandoc works with typst too.
