I wrote a book back in 2011 in Scrivener, and loved the software for this. I didn’t use about 90% of it but still, it was hugely helpful for structuring a long and complex document of 60k+ words. You need to be able to shuffle chapters around, see an overview of progress and so on - Scrivener does all of this and much more.
I’m dabbling now with writing using Obsidian. I think (but not 100% fully researched / sure yet) that it’ll do all I need: portable, open, easy workflows for shuffling stuff around, exports using pandoc and so on. There are also a fair few plugins and tutorials - Googling “long form writing with Obsidian” will find you lots of useful stuff.
I think so, personally. I wanted the means to see the whole hierarchy (ie book or chapter or both) and be able to move between that view and the editing view easily. Scrivener's tools do this really nicely.
