I would have a read through this post on the pros and cons of different systems. To my mind, it is not nearly as clear-cut as you are describing, but this could be explained as a matter of preferences. For example, while I use Obsidian, I do not use it for its linking system one bit—to the point of actively avoiding it. I do not find it to be particularly useful for how I link to things. So we obviously have a difference of opinion there! 
Also note that at the bottom of that post there is a series of cross-references to other topics that are closely related, but if you want a much more thorough round-up of topics on using Scrivener more like how one might use a program like Zettlr, Logseq, Obsidian, The Archive, and so on—then this is the mega-post for that. As above, there is not to my mind one obviously best way of doing any of this. Scrivener does some things nothing else comes close to (what else can take a list of backlinks and edit them as a single text file in the order they were given—or hey, even let you rearrange back-links into a more logical and human-friendly order to begin with), but on other things it is lacking in areas on that other tools do far better.
A lot of any of this is going to come down to precisely what works best for you, what feels the most comfortable.
