Could be be done, but does not feel like the appropriate tool. Org mode translates to a basic latex only, that is a huge waste of TeX power.
I did my thesis entirely in LaTeX, so I have some experience in the theme, and it was a rollercoaster. There is always some really special table, graph, arrangement, extra space needs, that you can do only programming with the real stuff. Doing the same with org mode would have been stuff of nightmares (even if org tex has some nice qualities that LaTex does not have, like fast shrinkable text).
I missed only a thing. Being able to do in situ calculus in LaTeX (filling columns and totals in tables excel style), but is not really the right tool for that so you can't blame TeX for that. The team of R+Latex filled the gape nicely.
Apart of this, TeX environment has planned and build yet anything that you could dream when you write a PHD thesis. From basic, to really esotheric. Can be difficult sometimes, but is awesome.
