I'd not like that.  As I recall vertical spacing is often off when 
you do this.
threeparttable seems ill-suited for Org IMO.  The syntax is just 
too specialized.  E.g. tablenotes block also does not support 
itemize so you have to insert @@latex:\item @@.
Perhaps one of the alternative packages mentioned here¹ could be 
used. 

bidiftnxtra² might also be interesting (I haven’t tested).  From 
the manual:
   In standard LaTeX you can not use footnotes inside \chapter, 
   \part, \section, \subsection, \subsection and any other 
   section-like commands, \caption and tabular environment. bidi 
   package provides bidiftnxtra package that solves the issue of 
   footnote in standard LaTeX.
