The biggest problem with using notes is that they are not currently preserved
by git-filter-repo:

https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/issues/22

Yes, there are some (hacky) workarounds to make this work, but even with them,
I am not comfortable with putting any information into notes that can just
suddenly be gone.

For now, I will keep this in the list of improvements, but I won't take this
patch until git-filter-repo does the right thing natively.
