"* There's no way to add private notes to email threads. So if I'm told something over the phone which is relevant to the email conversation (but private), I have to dump it into some other notes app where I'll lose it."

There are several extensions available which add this ability. Two are "Simple Gmail Notes" and "Gmail Notes". There are several others. Some free and some paid.

Alternatively, I will reply to myself at that point in the thread. Just have to make sure you don't include this when conversing later, which isn't a problem as I generally reply to the other person's inbound.

Sending myself emails as notes is the stickiest note taking app I've had in 20+ years of internetting.
