I think it might be best to have a separate apps for:

  1. no AI,
  2. local AI
    and
  3. fully AI

Local first design allows for separate apps.

Obsidian itself could

A) stay as it is and reinforce security to MARKET and IDENTIFY itself more strongly as non-AI,
while a completely separate APP works on the vault for those who want that.

Or Obsidian could
B) make LOCAL ONLY AI as a core feature, again building on its USP as a private, local first approach.

Or
C) Just get AI into the app as all the competitors are doing, and work on making it clear that if you don’t enable that core plugin, your data is still secure. IMHO, this is a key cost to what makes Obsidian unique, and I’m sure this is why the team have been thinking long and hard about this debate.
