It is theoretically possible to use tags/nested tags as pretend folders.

It's also theoretically possible to use  Evernote Stacks/Notebooks as "pretend folders"; only the two levels tho

>never, ever, get to review your information database in a hierarchical pattern

I use the sidebar notebook/tag trees for a hierarchical view

where I have to remember back which tag I used for specific subject.

You have no problem with remembering the folder/sub-folder used for a specific subject   
Why is there a problem remembering a tag/sub-tag?

I have a document that was updated weekly

Note History has versions back to 2015 when the document was created

I have shared them and am able to use them from my account now but I'm wondering should I save them in some other form also.

Condolences
I'm guessing you're accessing the notes via shared notebooks; owned by your father  
You should copy the notes into notebooks owned by you

I'm wondering how future proof apps like Evernote are/can be

My experience is 12+ Years  with the Evernote Legacy product   
Evernote is still here; I'm  not concerned with losing access to my data

Hopefully, we've assured you that we can export our data whenever required   
i've used this for backup; again I'm not concerned with losing access to my data

As to transfer to other apps; I see two issues   
1. Does the app even support the features; for example tags   
2. Is there a mechanism to support the transfer

I know that it is possible to export notes as PDFs

Other export options are .html and .enex   
My "transferring Evernote data to other apps" experience used the .enex format, with separate export for each notebook   

>what happens to the data (notes, attachments, links etc.) 

Notes and attachments are preserved   
My experience with inter-note links is they're not adjusted; they point back to Evernote   
I used a script (applescript) to convert the links to the new platform

always have a local html copy of my Evernote notes

Thanks Damien, it looks interesting   
Just wondering if file attachments are also saved?

edit: I signed up for testing - looks good so far

You can backup the data directory for the new application using an OS backup process.

Evernote is a cloud service; with data stored at the Evernote servers  
Before backing up the local data directory, confirm there's a local data copy (a setting in Preferences)

>So, even with Legacy, the best advice was to export one notebook at a time.

Agreed; I had this scripted in the Legacy product

EN is taking up 80gb on my mac. 

Evernote is a cloud service; your data is stored in the cloud    
Local storage is an option specified in Evernote preferences (save data at logout)      
Disable this option and the local data copy will be removed

>I have uninstalled the EN for Mac app, but all the locally saved files are still on my hard drive

Just delete the folders/files   
There is no syncing when using the web version

table of what was lost between v. 6 and v. 10, including what's come back and what hasn't.

I'm a Mac user, and the corresponding feature to Enscript is Applescript; also still missing in v10   
This is a required feature for me; my show stopper

The first v10 release included the note    
But please be aware that there are a handful of features—such as AppleScript, import folders, and the ability to edit note creation dates—that are not yet available.   
Count me as skeptic

so when I install it, do I have the opportunity to set the preferences to never download everything? I'm not sure what steps I would have to take to make this work.

1. Install the client software   
2. Open the app   
3. Login   
4 Select Evernote > Preferences and make sure Save Data is disabled

merge or cut and paste the files together ... Each month sort alphabetically and merge into a file say 202205. 

I'm content with notes, title prefixed with the date/time, tagged as required
I see no need for merging notes    
I only use notebooks for sharing

I use a spreadsheet note to track my progress   
Specific items in the first column, columns for each day   
2 pages long; n years wide
Cells are colour coded; green for normal, red for bad, yellow for exceptional, ... 
Brief notes can be inserted, or a link to a note
 

Local copy is an option set in Preferences, but it's all or none

Organization  and task lists - Trello

imho I don't want a separate application for organization and task lists
I use a single datastore for all my notes; including task notes and lists   
(for example, you mentioned Notion; I use Devonthink)

What do I lose when reverting from Personal to basic free account?

See   https://evernote.com/compare-plans

No 146KB is not considered a large file   
  
Export is a Windows/Mac feature; you need the client software installed

There are no "important features" missing from legacy.

Evernote v10 lost scripting support; I'm a Mac Applescript user

I moved to Devonthink from Evernote Legacy, but there are features I miss     
For example; I still use html-based notes, but haven't found a wysiwyg editor that matches the Evernote feature-set      
also I no longer have inline views (transclusion) of attachment files
 

Your Notes are stored in the cloud at the Evernote servers
Make sure you're using the same account/password on all your devices

Er, so it looks like EN support isn't going to come along? 🤷‍♂️

For creating an easy, fast backup simply copy the Evernote folder containing the full database, or let a backup software do it for you.

Data backup is a different discussion  
Evernote is a cloud service, with data maintained on a cloud server   
Before a "simply copy the Evernote folder" make sure there's a local data copy (setting in Evernote Preferences)   
Also when restoring the database from a backup copy be aware the first online sync will undo the restore

For me a very important issue was always the possibility to take my data and leave EN.

You might want to stick with Evernote Legacy for the export function   
It's still a problem in their Version 10 product

any kind of filesystem syncing solution would work (Dropbox, Box, Files, etc.)

I'd want a file system that supports tag methodology; for example Apple's file system
