...and the installed LibreOffice.app weighs in at 592 MB on my Mac, an 
order of magnitude less than suggested above.

I used BasicTex before, to save space on an old laptop. As I recall, 
it complained about missing some packages that Org puts in the header 
by default. Being a latex noob, I didn't bother to install them, but 
just set them to nil in org-export-latex-default-packages-alist, and 
never missed them.
