Most if not all of the features you listed are also possible with Markdown (though unfortunately different tools & parsers slightly disagree on the syntax).
What sets org-mode apart is the interactivity: time tracking, code execution right in the file etc. Though of course if you're already an Emacs user the choice is still pretty clear.
Right now I'm trying out Obsidian, with a plugin it has kanban boards using Markdown in the background. Which is the one kind of feature I've missed for a long time: actual 2d representation of content instead of keeping it limited to linear text files, sometimes vertical lists just aren't quite enough.
