As far as org-roam versus Notion, Obsidian, etc... it's very reiliable and predictable. Sometimes it requires more effort to say learn to use table.el to have the poor mans ascii table equivalent of a kanban board that doesn't mess up with long lines... but... it works and keeps working. Plus transparent support for gpg by naming files something.org.gpg or even making all of your org roam files encrypted by default is great. However beware, the sqlite database is still not encrypted. So be okay with that, delete the (easily regeneratable from org source files) database on logout/shutdown, or figure something else out.
