I'm using Dynalist, which is definitely an improvement over Google Keep, but I'm starting to find it quite restricting that everything has to be in bullet point lists. What I really want is something thats between Dynalist with its Zooming mechanism, and Typora with its super nice markdown editor.

I haven't heard of any of those! Forcing dot points for everything would be tiring. Clearly list-focused rather than note-focused, and that's okay. For tasks I use trello, and occasionally the separation between notes and tasks is a bit blurry. Ultimately long-term storage of knowledge is stored in my personal wiki, so the whole suite is not entirely seamless yet.

Typora looks like a lovely interface, but appears to be non-free, no support on mobile, not collaborative.

I just wanted to point out Typora as a nice interface for a markdown editor, it's not really a note taking app.
How is a markdown editor not a note taking app? Sometimes leaving search and sync to the system/other programs (grep, dropbox, syncthing) is a valid approach.
