Just my 2 cents : 

While I do enjoy using Gnote, I feel it's something different than
"Notes" design. For example, Gnote makes heavy usage of workbooks,
extensions, offers more formatting to the (power-)user. Maybe removing
features from Gnote would be a lost.

On the other hand, "Notes" design seems to propose something really
different. I might be wrong, but I think the design mainly describes a
very simple UI, strongly integrated with Gnome 3.

As I wanted to learn, I created some "mockup" code on github to work on
something close to Notes (https://github.com/pyluyten/bijiben) with
minimal wiki / issues list if anyone interested. This is early stage,
still far from specifications and obviously I'm opened to any comment.
