I’d recommend using your own style of zettelkasten. Roam Research is an excellent tool for this, but it’s a matter of preference. Keep your to-dos light weight (I like Asana so I can add comments, but again personal preference). If you have a team size of n=1, then some sort of agile is just silly overhead.

Biggest thing I can recommend here is don’t conflate tools with process.

Zettelkasten isn't something I've heard of, thanks for sharing! I suppose I should of separated my post into two questions one for processes and one for tools, in practice I won't conflate the two :)

Simple text files along with any sort of note organizer are a great alternative for organising zettlekasten notes.

Take 7-10 articles on a subject -> diagram and extract main sentences into a text file -> reorganize all of the extracts into an outline of what you want to write (I use a kanban board for this) -> rewrite to get an extremely condensed 'first draft' -> export back into a text file, rewrite again, and expand and elaborate to get a second, readable draft.
