If you use a VCS and look at a diff from time to time, filling might
be a bad idea. (Though visual-line-mode is not helpful then, either.)

As above.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Emacs 24.4 solves this...

True.

That would be cool. Hiding is much easier, AFAIK AUCTeX supports
that. Searching might be tricky, though. (If all you need is
searching for a sequence of /words/, it would probably make it
easier. Also, you could have a second buffer with all your document
"detexified" and somehow link it to the main one... A bit of overhead
with updating it, but probably doable.)

Fair enough. OTOH, some things are easier to mark up (at least for
me) in LaTeX than, say, in Org-mode. But it might be the question of
experience and my habits...
Best,
