ox-latex has 'org-latex--delayed-footnotes-definitions': "[...] This
function is used within constructs that don't support \footnote{}
command (e.g., an item tag). In that case, \footnotemark is used within
the construct and the function just outside of it."

The \footnotetext/\footnotemark option works well for specific cases,
but in general I don't like to abuse this method.

That is the ideal scenario. I also believe that footnotes should be
avoided in section headings, if possible. Or at least, have another type
of numbering (symbols, letters...). The manyfoot and bigfoot packages
allow constructions of this type, with various footnote apparatus.
