The best thing about Apple notes is that I can dictate while I am hiking. The problem is that it seems to require >2 bars of service, which is a rarity when I actually need it.

Apple dictation works offline - at least with the latest models. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208343
I've heard you can use local voice recognition by long-pressing the dictation button.

That's one of the most ridiculous hidden UX'es I've heard of in a long while. It always surprises me when people think of Apple as somehow "user-friendly".
Did you actually check? Just tried on my phone and it’s not there. But if I turn on airplane mode is still works so May be there’s no need for a setting at all.

I think you misunderstand. They are saying that even if it is there, it's a demented example.
How on earth is "if you have internet connectivity, short press the dictation button, but if you want to do only local dictation, long press it" even remotely intuitive, or logical?
