And now you encounter the issue of, "a long list of features that I don't want".

It is hard to sell someone on a solution to a problem that they don't have.

org-mode is basically better Markdown with a bunch of automated things that don't get in your way unless you specifically put them in there.

The only unwanted feature you're likely to encounter is automatic sub/superscript conversion, and that's documented and easy to turn off.

I'm not recommending org-mode. I personally don't care if you use org-mode or not. I never understood that mentality. But the type of software you're describing is crap, and org-mode doesn't fall into that category.
