Thanks so much summatix, that seems to be working for me.
Haven't been testing for long, of course.
Notes for others:
(you do this entirely at your own risk)
I also used APKPure as summatix suggested;
searched for OneNote, clicked on the result;
selected the August release and the arm64 architecture version (other versions https://itechify.com/2016/07/13/identify-correct-architecture-for-android-apk-arm-arm64/);
Stopped and uninstalled OneNote from Android settings;
Installed the new (older) version from my downloads folder - had to allow install from this location in Security settings;
Before running the app - I went into Google Play, searched OneNote, clicked on the onenote result, and then went into the menu (3 dots) and disabled "enable auto-update"
Have used the Android "close all" button, shut onenote, reopened a few times - so far, so good.

Hi MyTechieRyan, I just noticed that I posted pretty much the same info as you, but the long drawn version. Thanks of posting the TL;DR version. Cheers, other Ryan. : )
