There are downsides to everything. This whole blog sounds like an excuse: "we don't want to apply E2EE because it can be a little inconvenient so we will just go ahead and store everything in plaintext because who cares!"
You forgot to mention the biggest downside to not encrypting the notes: your company can read/edit them on a whim. Sure, E2EE isn't perfect but it sure is a PITA for vendors to steal data behind their users' back.
The solution to "E2EE is hard" is definitely NOT to ditch it altogether. Nothing is perfect. As a software vendor it should be mandatory to have E2EE in place. It doesn't matter if it's notes or emails or messages. I, the user, should decide what is private and important - not you.
