I've played with it a little bit. For comparison, I also have an IPad Pro/Apple Pencil combo. I think that Kobo got it MOSTLY right. With the Apple combo, notes can be taken in the Notes app, which immediately synchronizes over iCloud to both your iCloud account and any Apple devices connected to it. As Cootey points out, export is not automagic on the Kobo. Obviously, on an iPad, I can doodle/take notes in color, where the Elipsa is only greyscale. However, the biggest glitch so far for me is the stylus lag. there's just barely enough stylus lag to make you notice it. Once I started noticing it, it got more and more annoying even though the lag itself wasn't increasing. This in comparison to an Apple Pencil/iPad combo, where there is zero lag at all.
I'm a little perturbed at having to sign up for a DropBox account (as opposed to, say, copying a PDF over my LAN to my NAS server).
I'm going to continue to experiment with mine and see if I can minimize some of the irritating factors. If nothing else, the good news is that the hardware seems to be performing remarkably well so far. All of the minor complaints I have could probably be fixed in firmware updates if Kobo wants to do so.
