Physics professor here. I tell my students that i will give them unlimited help and assistance if they want to learn latex. I find that most students prefer latex once they get the hang of it.
I’m incredibly biased though. There is rarely a situation that I would prefer to use word over latex.
Yeah there’s definitely a learning curve. A little coding experience makes the task easier. I typically give my students a template that they put their own text into that includes a peer-reviewed journal format and an example equation, table, and figure.
There’s still the “not so short introduction to latex” out there that helped me learn the basics back in the day.

My prof told me it’s a huge learning curve. At first I’ll be very confused and slow at it.
