I think there is an important deciding factor around whether you should make your resume in LaTeX, which is: do you expect the hiring team to be academics or previously academics?

If yes, then this is fine. But if not, you can actually hurt your chances of being hired by making your CV with LaTeX (source: this is feedback I received when I was rejected from jobs, long ago - switching to Word/LibreOffice made a noticeable difference in my callbacks).

That said, it ultimately matters more what's on the CV, so take comments like mine with a pinch of salt.
