I dabbled with Plain Org a while back when I was considering switching from iA Writer to Org. It can use iCloud to sync. Have you tried that, and if so, what was your experience like?
I’d really like to use Org but that same limitation kept me from it. If I could at least view Org docs on the run, and do minor editing to jot quick notes, I think I could make the leap.

I just mentioned this in another comment here, but I think you would be interested too. I sync Org mode from the desktop to the mobile, and read in orgzly. To record things on mobile, I use voice notes. I'm right now working on a desktop application to transcribe and make voice notes accessible by other means as well. If you're interested then my Gmail username is the same as my HN username.
I could see something like that. I use Drafts and I’m sure I could wire them together somehow.
iCloud is the problem. I have a Windows laptop, a Linux desktop, an older MacBook Pro, an iPad, and an iPhone. Dropbox is the only storage service I pay for (also iCloud and Microsoft’s thing with O365) that will work effectively on all of them. And on iPhone/iPad the Dropbox offline story seems… not great either.
The Obsidian Sync stuff just works flawlessly for me across all of those machines.
