You could try to use e-ink tablet for that purpose instead app. I am using one and it aggregates many activities like reading, taking notes and drawing in one device. I noticed productivity boost when using such a device.
I am also using Obsidian a bit, but only to be able to synchronize some notes between laptop and smartphone.

I'm curious, do you connect the contents of the e-ink tablet with obsidian or just use them separately?
I like using my iPad with the concept app for doodling but it is pretty much an info dump as finding anything again is a pain.

I could try to convert handwritten notes to text and then move it to Obsidian but my notes are often more like a mindmap and it is easier for me to open tablet and just read straight from there. So I use them separately: Obsidian for really short notes like 1-2 sentences to transfer from laptop which I would like to have accessible on the phone and vice-versa: to write something really short on the phone.
Handwritten notes are my main source of data.
This approach might not be optimal for everyone of course.
