I'm in the process of the same switch.

I've liked Standard Notes. It's really nice that it's open source and encrypted. However I ran into some instances of cross-device conflicting edits which were a bit annoying, and Obsidian's UI and Second Brain features swayed me to try it. The graph view is really cool and I realized I didn't need syncing as much as I thought.

Obsidian does seem to also have a paid sync feature (no mobile app yet). For now I've been emailing myself from my phone and taking small audio memos, then typing them into Obsidian when back at my laptop. Not an ideal workflow but it's not bad and has some advantages.

I set up syncthing on my two computers and my phone. It was surprisingly simple and works pretty well (after I turned off battery optimisation on it on the phone). using Markor as an acceptable way of making small edits and notes on my phone for fleshing out later.

Conflicts are normal in syncing. Even git has conflicts. Although SN's conflict resolution is a bit weird where it creates multiple copies of the note...I think this may be because they mark conflicted notes on the server using timestamps.
