One thing that would be great to have:

I have a Template Document that would often be reused and filled with different data in specific fields.

So if I have placeholders in the document (variables) and could then use the command line + a document with the data to fill in (ini-style, json or xml or whatever can be automatically generated), that then would automatically export the document as new PDF would be great:
  

publisher.exe "D:\Affinity Documents\template1.afpub" /fillvars "D:\Data\NewData.json" /exportpdf "D:\Affinity Output\NewDoc.pdf"
