The Connect plan enables you to also transfer between Google Drive and Dropbox in addition to their own cloud offering. Finally, there is a fairly active open source scene for the device enabling you to install hacks that considerably enhance the functionality and almost make the Connect subscription somewhat unnecessary.
I did find the storage limitation (6GB available) to be irritating enough to resell my device, which is why I no longer have it. The Kobo Elipsa I got is not thus limited but the writing experience is nowhere as good as it was on the Remarkable 2.
In summary, if you value taking notes and being able to access them easily and everywhere, there is no substitute.

The iPad has lower latency. Plus most of the note taking apps support some sort of cloud backup.
On the eInk side the Boox devices aren't too far behind either and you don't need to pay $8 a month to sync your notes on Dropbox or Google Drive. All my notes are automatically synced to Dropbox on my Boox Note Air.
The ePub reader of the remarkable is also not very remarkable compared to Kobo or Boox.
