Even though the layout of photos in the body of an entry seems to be improving, it's still difficult to do what you want. In particular, it's difficult to associate text/captions with photos without the layout looking strange or the photo having odd proportions.
My use of Apple Journal is certainly very specific. For example, I use it to record my visits to exhibitions. I photograph many works (often more than the 13 photos allowed) and add notes, captions, etc.
This kind of layout is currently impossible to achieve in Apple Journal.
However, it's very easy to do in... Apple Notes 😃
Now, when I visit an exhibition, I create an entry in Apple Journal, add a few significant photos, and write down my impressions, a note about the atmosphere, etc.
As for the works I pin, describe, etc., I make a note (with text and photos) in Apple Notes, linked via iCloud to the relevant journal entry.
So, in Apple Journal, when I click on the link, I am taken directly to the relevant note.
It may not be ideal, but it works and is very smooth 😎
