I've used two kinds of Wacom pen (traditional and EMR on reMarkable), I think the MS Surface compatible pen used by Kobo is better.
Before the changing page page while cropped was added it was trivial to use KOReader on Kobo. I've also installed KOReader on an Android eInk and the Kobo was just as easy to install on.
The amount of RAM is only an issue for Android Apps. It's not an issue on any Kobo that runs recent FW.
Does the Boox have native handwriting, shape & maths recognition? Kobo Sage & Elipsa use the Nebo app, but the free version for iPad is less features, the bought version on Android & iPad is similar. Do you have the 10.3″ Boox? Does the Wacom pen work fully with Android apps that use a digitiser like Nebo (it should)?
Also Kobo is better supported by Calibre than any other ereader. The Kindle & Kobo USB MS mode is far better than Android's USB MTP (I have the Boyue Mars Android eink with later OS/Android version).
I've not seen any Android App or ereader with as good Library interface as Kobo (MyBooks + search) or even Kindle. Even Pocketbook and Lithium are poor Library GUI. KOReader can use Calibre Metadata, but for 1000s of documents it's painful compared to Kobo or Kindle, worse even than old Sony PRS-x50 series.
But Collections & Series can be pain on Kindle compared with Kobo managed by Calibre.

Using Android means stuff like Zoo for Zotero runs. I'm not using Calibre to manage journal articles because it's really not designed for that at all. I don't personally use Calibre for much beyond DRM removal so I don't really care if collections or whatever work. Having more RAM and faster processor means web browsing is a decent and tolerable experience for doing things like downloading articles on the device directly. You can use the pen in random Android apps but third party ones are not optimized for eInk so it's a poor experience. The built in notes app works well IMO. It has handwriting and shape recognition but not math. You can also use a handwriting recognition keyboard to enter text in text boxes if you want.
Neoreader is better than KOreader and lets you annotate PDFs is half the appeal of these devices.
