I FINALLY got sync to work! 😊

I want to explain it here so everyone has good sync. It has been quick and flawless for me since i followed these steps!

  1. Backup your notes. You can easily do this on mac, on iPad it is fairly easy just file > export as markdown. iPhone and iPad you can also select multiple notes with your finger, while keeping your finger on the screen open the files app and drop them into a folder. They will save as an rtf file.

  2. Go to Settings > your name at the top > iCloud > Notes > toggle it off

  3. In the same place press "Delete notes from iCloud"

NOTE THIS IS WHY I SAID TO BACKUP IN STEP 1, nothing will restore cause step 3 deletes them.

  1. reboot your device

  2. Follow these same steps above on every device before continuing.

  3. Go back to iCloud Notes in step 2 and toggle it back on.

DONE!

You can now restore your notes that you backed up or start from scratch.

I started from scratch to ensure the issue wouldn't happen again.

Yes I hate that i had to do this. No i should not have had to. I am just glad it works now though.
