So, to the experts out there... any thoughts on where and how I could improve my workflow? Any recommendations about tools for publishing?
As you investigate your plain text workflow, consider looking into markdown and pandoc:

There are a couple android editors that have some markdown support JotterPad X (markdown), LightPaper Pro (multimarkdown). Or, if you are comfortable writing LaTeX code without LyX, pandoc supports that as both input and output formats.

cheers,
