As mentioned by several in these comments, Org-mode is a powerful and flexible knowledgebase tool. So I wasn't surprised to find that it includes an extension that does Anki-style note drills, while allowing these notes to coexist in same knowledgebase or even same file or main heading as notes that have nothing to do with the Anki-style stuff:

Well, this is Emacs, it has everything, kitchen sink, coffee brewing protocol client, built-in psychiatrist and a modeline cat. One just have to get used to it ;).
From my experience, org-drill is a bit rough at the edges, it takes time to figure out how to use it properly. I ended up eventually using Anki for spaced repetition, but I'm thinking about moving back to org-mode for that, as I start using Emacs much more than before.
