I'm a little bit obsessed with keeping up with solutions in this space, and I've been watching both Coda and Notion for a while. Coda actually just released their v2.0 a few days ago which has brought some much needed bugfixes and stability improvements. I've had some time to discuss larger strategy with their team, and I can tell they're working really hard to "strike the right balance" between easy to use / discoverability and capability. I definitely like their product, and am following them going forward. If you're at all interested in this space, you should check out Coda just for the sake of seeing where we are (as a field) in solving this problem.

That's exactly it, I was saying to a colleague earlier that I wish* there were an open-source self-hostable option, but the closest I've found - Trilium Notes - is way further over to 'capability' than 'easy to use / discoverability', to use your spectrum. (I was a bit harsher, describing it as a spectrum from good UX to programmable.) *(mainly because exports aren't that useful - Notion exports some but not all data, and then you've got to sanitise (or get lucky) the CSVs it does export for the new tool)
