It's a good philosophy, to be sure. It doesn't take many migrations to realize that keeping your files in open, easy to read formats is preferable.
I also use obsidian, but I do sometimes worry that the linking and metadata will be difficult to work with in the future when the software goes away. It's all there in the files, but my vault is slowly linking together in interesting ways that rely on obsidian functionality.
I wonder this with obsidian also, it is one of the things that keeps me from diving in head first.
It seems a lot of its "powerful" functions are against it's plain text advantage. However I don't really see an easy way around it.
At least at the end of the day you or someone else could write a script to modify the plain text files for the next app.
Try logseq, it's foss and solves some of these problems. Mostly compatible with files from obsidian
I have heard that name a lot, I will have to give it a go
