Right now, there are a couple of handwriting apps (such as Linwood Butterfly and Saber) based on Flutter, which are pretty cross-platform (even with a web version), and I guess that it might be not too difficult to migrate to Kobo, given that this is already running on many architectures, but I am not technically equipped to judge.
Just to clarify, the chroot is not InkBox, and is invoked from NickelMenu, and can share designated folders with the regular Nickel environment, but I could understand it not fitting into everyone's workflow, as you can't just switch between environments - you power off to leave the chroot.
* Also apps in the chroot are desktop apps that were not curated for the eink/small screen device, unlike Nickel, KOReader, Plato, InkBox, etc...so there is a learning curve for the user to adapt to the app.

Anyway, as I found the lag on the display of letters was almost one second on the Clara, you would probably end up choosing the keyboard to annotate text, and using the pen mainly for images. So maybe not at the level of functionality you're used to.
