People who use Notion to plan their whole lives (2023)

I've just learned that the main innovative thing about Notion it's their idea of block [1],[2],[3].

Notion's block can be of any content type and the block is the fundamental building units for all content within platform. This approach allows users to easily customize and rearrange their content by adding, moving, or transforming blocks to suit their needs.

I'm wondering if this powerful and flexible block concept can be enabled and facilitated by the new open table format (OTF) for examples Apache Iceberg and others [4]?

But for going gung-ho on flexibility perhaps Jeremy Kepner's D4M proposal can enable CMS with even better capability than Notion block based paradigm or Notion++ [5],[6]?
