I am thinking of using Obsidian for collaborative note making with more than five working on the same vault. I am planning to use Github to share the update between us.
Is it advisable to Obsidian this way?
Is there some other tool that would be better fit than Obsidian?
What are the issues I might expect?
Is there any Obsidian plugin or methodology that you would suggest making this collaboration smoother?
Thanks for your suggestion!
Here are the features that Obsidian Git plugin offer

Obsidian Git like plugins in general suffer unsustainable development due to lacking proper financing. However Obsidian itself has sustainable development and future.
Here are some current bug reports (Obsidian Git):

There are some Obsidian alternatives like Logseq. Logseq works greatly with Github. Some other choices besides Logseq and Obsidian are Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code. All of these are not just kid toys but offer highly customizable and efficient writing environment.
Thank you! I will continue to use Obsidian. Git issues are not a problem. We can use Git Bash terminal.
What are the issues I should expect when multiple people work on same vault? Is there anything I must be aware of?
Thank you!
There are also live collaboration plugins/services for editing Obsidian files with others at the same time, like Google Docs:
