“On my iPhone” notes iCloud backup
Within notes, you have an “iCloud” section and an “On my iPhone” section. Does the “On my iPhone” section get backed up on iCloud? If I lose my phone, can I recover those notes?

If you are regularly taking backups on iCloud then yes, Notes under "On my iPhone" gets backed up too.
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups only include information and settings stored on your device. They do not include information already stored in iCloud such as Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes, Reminders, Voice Memos, Messages in iCloud, iCloud Photos, and shared photos. Some information is not included in an iCloud backup but can be added to iCloud and shared across multiple devices like Mail, Health data, call history, and files you store in iCloud Drive.
