Great.

I'm not 100% clear about your question. You can always include LaTeX code
directly in your RST using the
.. raw:: latex
% your LaTeX/pstricks code here
directive. But those sections won't appear in HTML, or other output
formats. If your concern however is that typing ``.. math::`` and
``:math:`` is too much of an overhead, when compared to LaTeX's \[... \] and
$...$ for math heavy documents, then your should write a macro in your text
editor (e.g. Ctrl-M) to generate that RST code for you.
The advantage of Sphinx is of course that you can generate great HTML, PDF
and other output formats. Using those math roles and directives is a small
price to pay to help the HTML generator, LaTeX generator, etc know what you
want to do.
