I really like Notion’s information architecture (in particular the top index pages) and its multi-user capability.
I tried some other tools like Confluence and Obsidian but like you say, there seems to be no match from a UX perspective.
Do I love Notion? Definitely not. Would I change to another tool with the same feature set? Instantly.
If you like Obsidian and want it to be multiplayer you might be interested in Relay [0] (shameless plug).
There are also plugins like make.md [1] that are focused more on making the UX feel more like notion.

Interesting product. What do you use for the backend sync? I see CRDT so I assume Y.js?
I’m building a Y.js sync server: https://github.com/nperez0111/teleportal
Yeah, we use yjs and a fork of y-sweet [0]. We have a custom-built control plane that allows us to support many different types of relay server configurations (including self hosting, multi-tenant, per-relay, per-document) and optimize for cost.
Your project looks cool -- especially sub-document support -- thanks for sharing
