I just did the experiment: I have both the reMarkable and its stylus, and the Onyx Boox Max 2 and its stylus. So I did a little scribbling on each device, using both styli with each.
First thing is - in both cases, it worked, including tilt and pressure sensitivity on the reMarkable (I have deactivated pressure sensitivity on the Onyx). That's a good thing - I wasn't even sure they were compatible.
Now, for the writing experience... it really seems to be related to the screen's texture. Writing on the reMarkable was much more comfortable than on the Onyx, and this with either stylus. The Onyx is too "smooth" - not as much as the hard glass surface of, say, an iPad, but still, this is very different from the feeling of writing on paper. The reMarkable is much closer.
Putting a sheet of paper on the Onyx screen and they writing with either stylus results in a somewhat better experience, if you disregard the fact that you can't see what you're writing
So it's really more a matter of the device's surface, at least mainly.
Now, I have not done any extensive testing - it might be that, if writing a lot on the reMarkable, the original stylus would feel better than the Onyx one. Also, it might be true that sensitivity with the original stylus is better, and someone who uses it for sketching would really feel the difference. For writing just a little, I didn't feel much difference.
(The reMarkable stylus is also more comfortable to hold, IMHO: it has a round section instead of hexagonal for the Onyx, and it's thicker and heavier. But now that I know they are mostly comfortable, I'm not as afraid of losing the reMarkable stylus - they are selling it for a rather high price if bought separately from the device, and the special tips are also rather expensive - not that expensive in themselves, but shipping from Norway seems to more than double the cost)
