I have a few twists and turns added on after using it for several months (never went back to trello since I do miss the kanban board, but it's just as easy to move todos between columns (I use todos instead of notes, and also the github markdown - [x] for sets of sub-tasks within a todo).
Couple of add-ons 
- Use the mermaid plugin for a gantt chart (pictorial + joplin links, can't get the mermaid graphic links to work) on the main kanban parent in a regular note which can reference all the todos and the history of production. Great overview of all tasks. Requires discipline to keep up-to-date
- The Gantt Chart replaced a complementary outline of hierarchy of all todos in the project, but both could be cool, it's hard to keep both updated.
- Some todos are
epics which just reference (joplin markdown links) the tasks involved.
So I'm just loving Joplin, not just for this, but also for all the ways I use it, and really admire the hard work being put into the project as we all work and hope (and struggle) for better times.
