If you're Emacs savvy (Spacemacs user myself) why not use the org-mode tools to work the LaTeX?

Also, references in Zotero => https://www.zotero.org/

There is a good Android client for Zotero, so toting around research on a tablet is a cheap approach.

I was thinking overleaf would be better for collaboration, although I'm not certain what the sharing capabilities of the org-mode tools are.

Can you easily share/edit LaTeX files with multiple people (2-10 ppl) with them?

Well, you're not using some sort of version control, no?

Overleaf is probably easier for casual interaction, but for substantial work with savvier collaborators, why not git?

Org-mode publishes to LaTeX, and org-babel does tangle/untangle round-tripping for literate programming. Whether there is any prior art could tangle-untangle a LaTeX file for Overleaf interaction is unknown to me, and sounds like a Rube Goldberg workflow at best.

In my experience Overleaf is worlds better than using git to collaborate on a paper. Access control is easier, you can see where other people are working in the document, there's no need to mess with merging or handling conflicts. I'm pretty sure you can sync it to a git repo too if you really want a copy in git.
