Syncing Outlook Notes to IOS
Ok managed to do this successfully.
The Outlook app for IOS does not sync notes currently - there is a uservoice with lots of votes for it here

So, on the IOS device go to Settings > Passwords and Accounts > Add Account and sync just the notes (if you are using the Outlook app for mail, calendar, etc). Then it should sync.
In my case I created a note after in Outlook on the local machine, and then on IOS to make sure they synced to each other.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
On the IOS
Hi Chris - thanks - I think I actually found my issue although it wasn't at all clear.
I had set up my office 365 account using the "outlook.com" setup option in the iphone settings, rather than the "Exchange" option.
If you do this it lets you switch on the option to sync notes, but it doesn't work, although all other items do work correctly.
If I set up using the exchange option, now it starts working correctly even for notes.
The only concern is that when I do it this way, I get the warning that the remote exchange admin can manage my phone - I don't think that's true is it unless the setup installs some kind of further security certificate? If I'm just using a normal consumer office 365 subscription, MS cannot "manage" my iphone or see my location or wipe my phone etc?
- Not per say, via activesync protocol the can wipe corporate data and enforce pin! But nothing you need to worry about
