I'd not like that. As I recall vertical spacing is often off when
you do this.
threeparttable seems ill-suited for Org IMO. The syntax is just
too specialized. E.g. tablenotes block also does not support
itemize so you have to insert @@latex:\item @@.
Perhaps one of the alternative packages mentioned here¹ could be
used.
bidiftnxtra² might also be interesting (I haven’t tested). From
the manual:
In standard LaTeX you can not use footnotes inside \chapter,
\part, \section, \subsection, \subsection and any other
section-like commands, \caption and tabular environment. bidi
package provides bidiftnxtra package that solves the issue of
footnote in standard LaTeX.
