I am not sure how this relates to the rest of your email.  Can you
please expand on this?

Have you actually tried what you wrote?  What happens?

This approach is basically what I use: inline tasks for the TODO
elements but the rest of the structure is the paper with top level
headings as sections etc.  However, I note that my approach is different
in that I don't hide the inline tasks when generating the article.  I
actually export my inline tasks using the following:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun org-latex-format-inlinetask (todo type priority name tags contents info)
    "Format an inline task element for LaTeX export."
    (let ((theinlinetask (concat todo " " name ": " contents)))
      (format "\\footnote{%s}\\marginpar{\\fbox{\\tiny\\thefootnote. %s}}" theinlinetask todo)))
  (setq org-latex-format-inlinetask-function 'org-latex-format-inlinetask)
#+end_src

Is the issue, in your case, that the noexport tag on the inlinetasks is
ignored?  If so, you could simply define the org-latex-format-inlinetask
function I have above to do nothing?
