Writing is very easy, no wrestling with fonts and markdown. Tagging is easy. Multiple people editing the same screen is great! We use Confluence to update holidays and weekly sync documents, as well as debating some technical proposals. We share thoughts and ideas, and it's easy to sort or even add memes. It works better as documentation than say GDocs or Word.
The killer feature is search. It's good enough to just trust. Sometimes someone in another department has written a tutorial on how to do Slack bots and stuff, and a search will reveal it.
I hear a common criticism of Notion is it can be quite slow.
Having both a knowledge base and project management tool combined is tricky.
Obsidian is a popular tool for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) and with the dataview and kanban plugins can be utilised for project management as well... while that would work functionally, it has a learning curve.
If you were interest in separate tools I might suggest Obsidian for PKM and something like Airtable for project management. Perhaps then letting some of the more technical teams dabble in the task management features of Obsidian.
As much as it pains me to say, Confluence is a really magical experience. It’s too bad the rest of the Atlassian suite, namely Jira Cloud, is so unusable.
