Org-mobile exists[0], but I have yet to meet anyone actually using this protocol in the wild, and requires you to have your own server to mediate from, as well as emacs running on your phone. An alternative is to use Git(hub) as the mediator, and here Orgzly is a decent Android app with Git support[1]. It just has a tendency of clobbering your git log with automatically generated commit messages. It has WebDav capabilities too, so you could use Nextcloud as the mediator instead. There's also Syncthing, which is probably what everyone wants: all devices haves the same info, you commit to VC what you want when you want. My personal workflow? Accept that my desktop is where I do the real planning, and that the mobile is just for quickly looking up stuff in my notes. If I have ideas, I can email them to myself and process them later when I'm

In Why and How I use “Org Mode” for my writing and more (2022)
I mean, they have a point. I've adopted Emacs mainly because of org-mode, and things you can achieve with org-mode and Emacs are incredible. That said, it's just plaintext in regular files on your disk. It can be as complex as you wish. If you use a reasonable subset of org-mode, you can parse it (there are lots of libraries in different programming languages), and then implement any tools you wish :) Not familiar with vim plugins for org-mode specifically, but I've heard Atom support is okay? As an example: on Android I'm using orgzly [0] to work with my org-mode files. It shares absolutely no code with Emacs, yet it supports 90% of what I need from org-mode.
