I keep losing my data to expected copy got paste scenarios. How do I know, after selecting a bunch of text, which one will happen?!
I just lost two days worth of brainstorming in the notes app due to this and its no undo, autosave, function.

At any point, you can drag the "word suggestion" line on the keyboard to the right to view the contentns of the clipboard. Whatever you see there is what has been copied.
I understand your frustration. I will never "cut" and paste again, only "copy" and paste then delete the original.
Bonus tip: Press and hold on the clipboard icon to see an option to clear it.
Bonus bonus "tip": There are times when the clipboard will glitch and I can no longer change the contents. After that happens, the only way I am able to copy / paste is to reboot the phone.
You can also also install Sailfish Utilities app by Jolla. After installing you can restart keyboard and clipboard from there.

By long-tapping on the text and waiting, the word, line and whole text will be marked subsequently.
This way the content is already copied to clipboard.
To paste your clipboard's content somewhere else just set the cursor at the desired position and tap on the clipboard icon of your keyboard.
A valuable extension of the clipboard would be if it could store more than one item (as requested here). This way you would still be able to recall previous entries. According to your case, it would have helped to recover all of your work that's lost now.
