You see, strangely enough - if you want to tweak the result of Org
exporting to LaTeX, you have to write LaTeX :P

Assuming your only use of Org is exporting to LaTeX (needless to say,
this leaves a lot of nice functionality on the table), you still get the
benefit of a more succinct syntax, and can embed such customisations in
the default LaTeX class fairly easily --- see
https://tecosaur.github.io/emacs-config/config.html#class-templates

Functionally, all I'm doing is

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
  ("my-article"
   "...preamble..."))

(setq org-latex-default-class "my-article")
#+end_src

Yea, some export settings have a convenient variable for them, others
have to be done by hand. I've always been able to get my desired output
though :)

Oh, if you just pasted the SRC block from my email, that wouldn't.
You need to put the commands in a
#+latex_header: ...
line. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Timothy.
