Great, thanks for writing this up. I agree with all of these points, these are the trade-offs, I end up preferring Wikis, but I can certainly see how someone can prefer other formats for these reasons.
Two more quick questions if you get a chance: Which document format do you prefer? It sounds like you like to mix different document types, but I'm curious what your bread-and-butter/default choice is? I'm also curious what you mean by "complicated stuff" (in "for something trivial they are great, for complicated stuff they become a hindrance"). I'm assuming you mean things like inline graphs and diagrams? But then this ties into my first question, I'd be really curious to hear what tool you think does do things like that really well? (I've always just exported from other tools.)
For complicated stuff I mean yeah, sometimes tables, sometimes multi-columns, sometimes embedded visuals, sometimes even just some unorthdox layout (like, trying to add a paragraph with my comments in the middle of someone else's bulleted list).
Any of them can be argued, but I've found them useful often. Any of them may be solved by a particular wiki like Notion... but never all of them, because writing a fully featured document editor (or, as seen above, several editors) is a HUGE task.
