I can completely relate to you and and I have ended up with step 3. I initially started with a slack for myself - but the free version is very limited for serious notetaking. After some research I settled with Zulip and hosted it on digital ocean.
Slack's UI is probably better, but zulip's UI is nice too. It offers multiple clients - web, ios, command line. I don't use the command line client as I find myself using the web much more.
I keep a tab open and when I am not in front of the computer I use my phone.
Of course, you need to be connected all the time. I write down take a picture and post it whenever I'm back online.
Search works right out of the box - though you wont get OCR for free like OneNote/Evernote.
Something that I am looking forward to is writing (i)bots to automate some workflows (like ocr) (ii) integrate with other productivity tool chain - todoist and trello.
