The approach I've taken is to try and stop using Markdown altogether and
write everything in Org, exporting to Markdown for those destinations that
need it.

You could even use https://github.com/tecosaur/org-pandoc-import to
automatically convert/reconvert other formats as needed, and
https://github.com/tecosaur/emacs-everywhere to do it even in other
applications.

It's not perfect - I still have to type Markdown sometimes, but you
can eventually start losing the ingrained backtick habit :)
