Outliner for granular writing?

Hi friends, I’m doing some long form writing again and I find myself looking for a very specific kind of capability. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions:

I’m looking to write very structured content where each section starts with a main argument, and each paragraph starts with a topic sentence. I’d like each sentence to be it’s own bullet appropriately nested within the argument chain:

Main Argument for the section
>>Main point 1 (Topic Sentence for first paragraph)
>>>>Support sentence for point 1
>>>>Support sentence for point 2
>>Main Point 2 (second paragraph)
>>>>Support sentence for point 2
etc.

Now I can do this already with pretty much any outliner, the issue is then getting the work OUT of this outliner without major reformatting work to put things in normal paragraphs and spacing. Does anyone have any workflow ideas or software recommendations for an approach like this? Thanks.
