“You probably heard of this new markdown-ts-mode and decided to check it out.”
Uhm, no, I haven’t.
Why should I care if the Markdown mode uses Treesitter or not…? Does it affect the performance or UX somehow?

I read that article, and I didn't notice anything that stands out as different from markdown-mode (the non Tree Sitter version).
Regular markdown-mode also highlights everything, hides markup if you like, cycles section visibility if you like, fills paragraphs in bullets, etc. With poly-markdown-mode it also does language-specific syntax highlighting in code blocks, and even language-specific structural editing, automatic indentation, etc. With math-preview it displays TeX/LaTeX math as rendered formulae.
You mention eg poly mode, which has always been extremely finicky for me. Syntax highlighting in treesitter modes is both more capable and more consistent.
