Correct, E3 comes with OneNote and yes that applies to Office 365 ProPlus, which is an included app. You can confirm this here - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office-applications-service-description.aspx. Also, you will see mentioned E3 supports "OneNote client access to notebooks on SharePoint Server, SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Office 365".
Also, just to add, https://support.office.com/en-us/article/OneNote-Online-Help-7e497458-6bf3-4de3-a362-f83636f0d5b9, will be enabled via the https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office-online-service-description.aspx licence I assume.
I think you need more to give more info as maybe you would not need E3 but Business premium. You can save a one note to Onedrive or ondrive for business but also to SharePoint or any other cloud platform. Onenote is a seperate app and free to download.

OneNote actually has quite weird licensing, but s you have Office Pro Plus it's all included.- Stephen BellOct 16, 2017Iron Contributor
Maybe I should clarify - we aren't obtaining E3 for this problem. We already have E3 and are looking to utilize more of what we are paying for.
So to clarify, if we want to give additional users ability to use One Note across multiple devices - being licensed for Office Pro Plus will satisfy that requirement?
Thanks
