Word or LO Writer work for me to do notes exactly as you want, each chapter's notes after the chapter and restarting at 1.
Also I don't use sections. Not needed to make ebooks or PDFs even if they seem to have sections / parts / volumes. Just create a suitable paragraph style with a suitable heading level. Then Sections/Parts are level 1 and main chapters are Level 2.
Never autonumber anything except pages in footer or header (paper / PDF destination only). It's simply a convenience and in total work saves little time. No auto-numbered chapters, notes or lists.
But only edit odt files with LO Writer (opening a docx does a conversion) and only convert docx with Calibre (because odt support is ancient and broken), so always a final extra Save As in docx purely for Calibre or other MS Word users. Only edit odt in LO Writer. If you start with a docx in LO Writer, save at once in odt and then check all page styles, headings, paragraph styles as the input file read a docx may look right (and print on paper), it's a conversion concentrating on cosmetics rather than sane structure! Actually different versions of MS word using each other's doc and docx have the same problem!
