Description
It seems all templates does not support old Pandoc version (before 2.7.3): https://github.com/rstudio/rticles/runs/2322462437?check_suite_focus=true
Fails with 2.5 and 2.0.0.1 for example.
There was no issue reported by users so maybe we should not bother but it is good to now that rticles has a stronger requirement than rmarkdown

Research direction
Start with the linked GitHub Actions run and compare the template failures under Pandoc 2.5 and 2.0.0.1. Review the affected templates and the package's stated Pandoc requirements, then document or update the requirement so the supported version is clear and the templates pass on the intended minimum version.
