I can't comment on the tech stack and all that, since I didn't see the internals, but I think Evernote deserves at least as much credit for saving Notion. Evernote used to have a real free plan and it cost only $3/month or something to go premium. Notion's "1000 free blocks" was confusing and honestly not that helpful, nobody knew who they were, and they were selling a premium plan for more than Evernote (who everyone knew and trusted). Notion's pricing and free plan strategy was a disaster from my perspective. It's understandable that this is an ad for Figma, but there were definitely other issues.
