So I'm not really qualified to speak on this... I taught myself the basics of LaTeX just for conlanging and I started using Typst last night -- but that said, I do really like Typst. It seems powerful and modernized vs LaTeX. It also has built-in scripting which is very useful. For example...
My consonant chart has smaller text for "plain", "sibilant", etc. and I didn't need to manually specify each cell. Instead I told Typst to iterate over each cell, and if the cell is in row 1 or column 1, make the text smaller (I'm using combined rows/cols so that's why they're index 1). Very neat!
