I think that’s covered by the "Where typing fails me, though, is anything other than writing regular, linear text" part.
Also we’re not really talking about note taking, more by which mean you put ideas on a written support.
I am under the impression that people who spent the majority of their formative years on pen and paper will in mostly be more comfortable thinking on pen and paper, but increasingly I feel that the lack of practice in hand writing will put a lot more friction in that process, tiping the balance in a different way.
Also there’s a flurry of study floating around about university students who can’t think while typing (and It’s usually about note taking to get back to your point), but it feels counter to my own experience, and I wonder if it’s not an effect of the studies done on students who just came out of a decade of pen and paper learning. Just like how children can have a hard time reading and understanding the meaning at the same time, or how their first years of writing is really taking an input and transforming it to an output.

One of the main reasons I default to typing is not the speed, but the fact that my handwriting is absolutely abhorrent, and I feel displeasure from just looking at it. I suppose it could be improved with training, but I generally didn't find time for it yet.
