This is great! I do something similar, but with paid tools. I also tend to not work out of my email. Its never really 'flowed' for me, and I know if I want to find / remember something again, in most cases it has to get out of my email (or never live there to start with).
I've never used Omnivore, but I love Readwise. Same general use case, but Readwise is actually kinda spendy (but worth it for the amount of reading I need to stay on top of), and some of the bells and whistles I really like.
So flow for me is:
1. Navigate to the thing I think I want to read
2. Use the Readwise browser extension to save into Readwise
2a. Readwise will automatically summarize using ChatGPT and email me the summary
3. Highlight / notes right in the browser there
4. Notes / Highlights sync into LogSeq
That said, I'm embarassingly behind on my Readwise queue :-) and while I prefer LogSeq's model to Obsidians for note-taking, their development has slowed almost to a stop - they've only released minor bug fixes for months now.
I'm also checking out AnyType as more of an evergreen home for content that still has sync, but zero trust and complete data sovereignty.
A big thing for me that I haven't been able to get 'right' for myself is getting newsletter content into a reference-able, PKM system -- so I'm always on the lookout for ways to make that happen.
We'll have to chat about this in more detail sometime because we have a similar with setup with some of the same problems. You're just on the dark side with Logseq/Readwise 😂
I really enjoyed Readwise, but figured I would try something free/open-source. I'll see how it goes. I've got nothing but good things to say about Obsidian. It's very open-ended so it takes a while to get going but it works for basically anything. The Smart Connections plugin makes it really easy to surface old notes when you need them too.

All for it - I invest a lot of time in continuing to cultivate my PKM processes and tools hah
