> bi-directional links, sound great in theory but break down in practice. if you rely on them as your primary means of finding notes

There's some sleight of hand here, suggesting that bi-directional links were proposed as one's "primary" entry point to notes. Every bi-directional link aware app I've used has a global search feature, and most have a daily journal. Bi-directional links is a strictly additive concept, not mutually exclusive with simple search, daily journals, or even hierarchies.
