Complex nicely done typesetting is certainly needed for traditional style magasines, newspapers, reference works, illustrated speciality books (e.g. cooking, knitting) and text books.
However I decided nearly 15 years ago that fiction, a typical novel with no illustrations, or just a few that can be their own paragraph, needs simplicity. And then I abandoned DTP as I wasn't any longer produsing newsletters, project proposals, training manuals/ courseware, instruction/operation manuals etc. Only novels designed to be as readible as possible, so they don't degrade much on stupid apps or on ancient Kindles only doing mobi. Also then nothing to trip TTS. I've also used TTS to see what happens with old Irish words or made up words, originally on the Kindle DXG and now on Pocketbook app on Android, though oddly a an old Huawei Android phone is nicer than Android 13.
