The fascinating thing about using TiddlyWiki for me has been the way it turns my notes from a bunch of monolithic and siloed documents into something more akin to a personal search engine, letting me see how my past self has explained concepts in my own words. The chunking aspect helps with this. The approach has its own problems, no doubt, but for that alone it was a massive step up.
I also use Tiddly Wiki for my office notes, and I love it. I actually organized it as a proper Wiki, and every note has a home. Tags allows me to find them faster if I need to search (I rarely search because everything has a proper place).
The older way of organization may seem outdated and clunky, but it indeed works.
