Tssk, tssk. Don't be so pessimistic :)

`orgtbl-to-latex' doesn't use export framework at all, unlike to
`orgtbl-to-html'. One solution would be to change that:

  (defun orgtbl-to-latex (table params)
    "Convert the orgtbl-mode TABLE to LaTeX.
  TABLE is a list, each entry either the symbol `hline' for
  a horizontal separator line, or a list of fields for that line.
  PARAMS is ignored."
    (require 'ox-latex)
    (org-export-string-as
     (orgtbl-to-orgtbl table nil) 'latex t '(:with-tables t)))

However, we lose all PARAMS configuration (:splice t in particular).

Note that, according to Org syntax, "1." doesn't start a list, since
tables cannot contain lists.
