The svg in pdf thing was a known issue. When I first looked at building the
nova docs with latex/pdf output a few years ago [1] you had to manually
convert the images before building the latex. Since then sphinx has added
an extension to do this for you:

https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/imgconverter.html

You should be able to just add that to the extension list in conf.py and it
will convert the svgs at sphinx build time.
