This tool is so expensive. I want to use it but for this to be an alternative to Notion you'd have to pay for Sync and Publish, which would come to $24/month. That is very pricey for many people.

Have you checked out the Obsidian Pandoc plugin? I think it might meet your needs: https://github.com/OliverBalfour/obsidian-pandoc That being said standard Markdown does not provide notation for certain things, so it is somewhat up to interpretation how to convert certain features to standard Markdown.
It appears that the feature in question is still on the roadmap, but moved to long-term: https://trello.com/b/Psqfqp7I/obsidian-roadmap
I just can't keep up with all the note taking apps; I sometimes go through a Phase of "I need a means to organize my things", but invariably just go back to a folder with text documents. The note taking apps are fine, but they will either have a web/electron based interface that is too indirect, or their data storage is not open (like text documents), or they try and upsell you cloud storage / sync, or they offer no…
That said, I've stuck with Obsidian so far, specifically because it doesn't lock me into a format. I was able to drop it on top of my folder-o-markdown & go from there. We'll see if it sticks, but so far so good.
Love love love obsidian. The tool is aesthetically pleasing, built-in vim mode surprisingly well (a few minor glitches with the cursor blinking) — but above all else, the plug-in community takes the cake. Finally, a note taking application with a decent API that's allowed me to extract metadata and publish metrics into CloudWatch, allowing me to track key metrics and graphically[0] review historical trends of my "sec…
"Time taken after creation to search for and open this note again"
This can show how useful your notes are and which are most useful.
If Obsidian ever added some good inking/handwriting recognition stuff, it would be a contender for the best note taking app out there.
If you're on macOS/iOS a lot of this is now at the OS level, and has gotten really quite good.
I see this as "Joplin, just not nearly as free (speech or beer)." Why would I pay monthly for sync and have no control, when I can already sync to my own s3 buckets and only pay for AWS storage and transfer? Is there a compelling reason to switch from Joplin to Obsidian? Honest question.

Wow, CloudWatch for note metadata metrics. Notebook organization systems are serious business!
If that's what it takes to make someones system effective so be it.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well and all that.
What's a better alternative in your opinion?
Between Obsidian, Roam, Amplenote, and Reflect it has certainly been a golden age for note taking over the last few years. It's hard to remember that it was only 5 years ago that second generation note apps like Evernote, Notion and Bear were the only viable options unless you wanted a 1st gen app like OneNote or Workflowy. What might be most interesting about the new set of fast moving note apps is that all seem to…
I’m using Org mode with emacs just so I can have cross references into PDFs and emails in my notes.
