Wow, thanks for the resource... going to give this a go on a current project of mine. Does anyone know of a solution that solves having fairly complex Excel tables? It seems like all of these Latex solutions just have basic text tables...

Are you meaning just having nice looking tables?
If your going more then just nice looking tables I HIGHLY recommend RMarkdown.

Using RStudio with RMarkdown makes amazing looking tables with the package Stargazer.
Scribble is well designed to be a more readable Latex with the ability to be beautifully type set.
Example:
#lang scribble/base
