It wouldn't take much work to make filter lists first-class citizens in Logseq, if you want to try hacking it in: https://github.com/logseq/logseq
It would be a good feature to have, and it's better than starting from scratch.
> I desperately want to be able to hand write notes sometimes, type them sometimes, have them all in one place, and have that place be a stream of consciousness and searchable.
Logseq doesn't currently have saveable filter lists, but you can create pages with any title which will still collect and display direct and indirect references to that title/tag. This gets you 80% of the way there already, if you get used to the workflow.
Naturally Obsidian has a plugin for this[1].
This is what I like about obsidian. Ultimately nobody has a consistent set of capabilities they want because the whole space is pretty underdefined (exactly as the article is saying). But we still want something. So Obsidian is a kind of bring-your-own collection of features, and the mobile app works good enough too. It’s kinda like vim or emacs where people customize it however they want.
I reckon as the space evolves more clarity will appear and more opinionated schemes will become popular.

My personal note taking system is based on Markdown, Vim, grep and Git.
I have a private repo for personal notes, including a `todo.md` file that I use as an GTD style inbox - I have an alias `todo='$EDITOR $HOME/personal/todo.md'` which takes me there quickly.
For some topics I use other repos - for example for programming notes, I use https://github.com/ADGEfficiency/programming-resources.
Works great, fast, cheap and I don't have to put up with any of the nonsense I used to put up with when I use Evernote.
