This is what I ended up doing, and even though the majority of the notes I take aren't things I'll need to return to -- they're more about processing in the moment -- just consistently using an iPad to capture into apple notes has scratched the itch in my brain that I might need to look back at something someday, and it's well worth it.
I also am pleased that I can use it to scan any piece of paper I'm given straight into a note and that same scan will pop up when I search for it.
