I realize that doing this way, LaTeX becomes a dependency stack to build my resume.

I used to have my our LaTeX resume with fancy and flufs and etc... One day I was in a emergency without my laptop or any privilege to install/compile LaTeX to update to apply to a job.

Today I am glad to use my google account and driver/docs to keep my resume easily available and editable within reach of my hands :-)

That's a rather weird use case, tbh. I doubt many people edit their resume on a daily/weekly basis. Everyone I know update theirs rarely and they take their time to make it properly to not have any errors in it. So setting up LaTeX is part of the process, while keeping the actual CV code in a repo.

A contractor would actually update their resume pretty frequently, to tailor it to a particular client.
