What file format do the Sony's use? Is it cloud-based like the ReMarkable or can I manage the files myself locally and copy them over USB to my computer?

I'd love to have an e-ink tablet for hand writing and sketching ideas, but I'm not crash hot on it all being locked in to some closed ecosystem.

You can access the filesystem of the DPT-RP1 via wifi, bluetooth or USB. There is a nice python library to do all that [1].

FWIW, reMarkable device is accessible by ssh, so you can manage the files yourself. I don't think the format is well documented. I saw some articles about reverse engineering it, but it didn't feel well supported by any means. But if I wanted to use say a private GIT repo instead of rM cloud, I think that would not be very hard to set up.
