A lot of the Keep replacements I see posted are just fancy text editors full of markdown formatting junk

Keep is specifically for taking notes, not just for grocery lists. But personally, I use Obsidian.md with a specific note full of checkboxes, and use SyncThing to sync the folder/vault between devices. That being said, since you don't want markdown you probably wouldn't be interested in it

    Unfortunately Obsidian is proprietary

    True, but the alternatives all either suck or are coded with AI

    IMO insisting that free software options be "no-AI" while accepting proprietary stuff is backwards. In the proprietary world it's the norm that as the end-user you aren't entitled to know how the software is built, because that's considered a secret. Your favorite proprietary developers could be using "AI" and you're not supposed to know about it. In the proprietary world as long as it looks good and does what you want it to do it doesn't matter how it's implemented.

    If you're insisting on being free of "AI" then as a consequence you have to insist on at least source-availability. As far as I know Obsidian isn't even that.
