SFOS X 3, is it usable without Android?
I was hoping to use SFOS X 3 when it is available with a Sony XA2 but wondered how usable it would be WITHOUT using the Android subsystem/apps?

Depends on how much you depend on Android apps. Write down which apps you use on android and find if SFOS has ones that offer the same feature set. You'll get your answer.
Actually I don’t want to use any Android apps, my needs are pretty simple (notes, contacts, calendar, IMAP email, Twitter) so am hoping they can all be covered by SFOS apps?

There's one Twitter client called Piepmatz which is amazing - in my opinion actually one of the best, if not the best 3rd party Twitter client on any platform :) https://openrepos.net/content/werkwolf/piepmatz
On Openrepos.net (unofficial store) you get some insights of available apps for Sailfish OS. But that's not the official store - so you won't find every available app on Openrepos.

It will be 100% usable.
