And run bibtex and makeindex etc. automatically too?  In this case it
would be much better and easier to compile with latexmk instead of
{lua,pdf,xe}latex.

Of course.  Emacs is fine while working on a particular file and
compile time definitely matters.  It's less important that the TOC is
up-to-date then.  And even if all cross references are resolved but
bibtex and makeindex aren't run you don't get the final document
anyway.

Are you aware of latexmk?  It's part of the TeX Live distribution.
Don't know about MiKTeX.  It's worth a try anyhow.

Though I usually run latexmk on the command line I could imagine that
AUCTeX offers an option to invoke latexmk when pressing C-c C-c in
addition to "LaTeX", "View", ...
