That's exactly it, I was saying to a colleague earlier that I wish* there were an open-source self-hostable option, but the closest I've found - Trilium Notes - is way further over to 'capability' than 'easy to use / discoverability', to use your spectrum. (I was a bit harsher, describing it as a spectrum from good UX to programmable.)
*(mainly because exports aren't that useful - Notion exports some but not all data, and then you've got to sanitise (or get lucky) the CSVs it does export for the new tool)
