I use
#+LATEX_HEADER: \input{ews30setup} % pointing to ews30setup.tex

in the org-file, I export, not a setupfile.

Alternatively you can use #+INCLUDE: template.org
to grab more than just the org-setup.

For an example, see
https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/software/wisp.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c#L1

#+INCLUDE: ../org-templates/level-1.org

This pulls the actual content of the file:
https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/org-templates/level-1.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c

There is also a setupfile at the bottom:
https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/software/wisp.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c#L1632

#+setupfile: ../org-templates/level-1-software.org

This only pulls the changed org-mode settings:
https://hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/draketo/browse/org-templates/level-1-software.org?rev=31bb4a1fb49c

#+HTML_HEAD_EXTRA: <style type="text/css">.tab-software {background-color: 
#fffbf8 !important; opacity: 1.0; box-shadow: 0px -5px 7px -2px gray;}</style>
#+HTML_LINK_UP: ../software.html

I don’t yet have sufficient hold of that. To date I’m using the
memoir-class to get the styling I need — where I use styling (that’s not
the draketo site, but the ews document).

Have a look at \DeclareUnicodeCharacter:
https://www.draketo.de/light/english/emacs/char-not-setup-latex

#+latex_header: \usepackage{uniinput}
