What's your use case? In my case, obsidian + anki seems to do very well (I can keep a decent amount of context in my cards) for math/CS topics.

Can you also give an example how you benefit from your workflow, and say a bit more why Anki wouldn't be sufficient? Wouldn't keeping a track of articles and making cards in Anki achieve the same purpose, or is there something else? Of course the implementation matters, and having a system for paper-reading and revising by itself is a nice feature.

According to the wired article, the key to remembering is reviewing the information the moment you’re about to forget. It makes it sound like the scheduled review times are designed to maximize the effect.

Never tried it but all the comments made me curious.
