What functionality are you looking for? “Knowledge Management” is extremely broad. Org and/or orgroam is probably what most people use for knowledge management. There’s also https://github.com/ymherklotz/emacs-zettelkasten or https://github.com/EFLS/zetteldeft

Honestly I've been in the same boat as you for ages and have even tried writing my own zettelkasten packages here and there on top of things like deft (I started with zetteldeft, which shows).

I now use emacs and Org mode for notetaking (with zetteldeft) and for drafting articles. I can export them into Word and get pretty close to the formatting I want. But I also use it for writing lecture notes and making slideshows for my classes using org-reveal.

I did arrive at a solution using zetteldeft - it's lots of fun being back in emacs and having access to all of the source code and documentation.
