Yeah, being able to get my data back out is a hard requirement for me too. It's one of the things that put me off of OneNote.
A few years ago I wrote a few python scripts to export the Notes.app database to html and bear formats. I haven't really maintained them (although I still run it in a cronjob for backups), but I put them up on github in case it was useful to someone.
You can export to plain text by saving notes to the files app.

Does this work if you have 1000 notes?
This!
When I tried to export my notes I realized how hard to impossible it was to get them out. An absolute no-go for me. So I gave up on accumulating notes in this otherwise beautiful and practical app.
