Have you really never had any of your data leaked and plastered all over the internet for all eternity? Of course it's a credible threat. Cloud service operators should finally get it into their heads that they can go E2EE or GTFO.
better question: why does this device even need a cloud? Why does a Roomba need a cloud? Why does a smart lightswitch, a doorbell, or any other of these devices need a cloud?
There is no reason. It's dumb. Sync over wifi to your computer and phone and use MDNS to discover them.
Or you know, their servers get hacked and everybody's notes are leaked. Or you get a nosie employee that just has raw access to your files.
re2 has been on my radar for at least a year at this point, but given the lack of features, price point, and the not so ideal size for PDF reading I'm still on the lookout. It's a nice looking device, but not quite there yet.
I think security is important, but unless you're going up against a state actor with physical access, I think this isn't a credible threat at this time.
