Honestly this is the thing I worry the most. Without having encryption as a first class citizen, the ux of the notes will be sacrificed greatly. Simply because good encryption tends to be slow, making the app unproductive imo.
gocryptfs is very fast for me. i have a file with about 5600 lines and i detect no difference when opening it under encryption and not under encryption. but in gocryptfs each file is encrypted separately . so you could get some information about the directory structure. but the name of the files and folders is encrypted ("archive" for example turns into something like "AaL6P86WWMnqQkMYnsRBXg").
