Modern Sites/Pages limitations - Project Road Blocks.
My 2 cents here:
1. As you have said, this is coming with PowerApps integration...PowrApps integration for SPO List / Document Libraries forms is currently being rolled out in First Release...another alternative here could be SPFx Extensions, but it could be also very limited for your scenario
2. If PowerApps is not OK for you, then I only see something around SPFx Extensions about a possibility but I think is going to be very far to meet you requirements

Thanks for your input Juan, much appreciated.
It looks like I'll need to stick with Classic mode for now or wait until the attachment functionality is available in Powerapps.
Unfortunately attaching files is a mandatory requirement so Powerapps can't be used in this instance.
The modern UI looks and works well but given the fact I can't customize the form or use the append text feature on a multi-line text box (it reverts to a classic form) takes that out of the tool belt as well.I have looked at SPFx extensions to add command bar / context buttons but I've not been able to come to a complete solution meeting all requirements; Either attachments go, or the append text feature goes.
Without re-writing a lot of code that works out of the box in classic mode, my options seem limited to either using Classic Mode or waiting to be able to use attachments (read/write) through Powerapps
If anyone can think of a workaround / method that the Modern UI can be used while still being able to attach files and keep a history of case notes (either through append text to a multiline textbox or by linking to a seperate list) then let me know.
Thanks again for your help Juan.
