it seems that will kill all network effects with existing calendar software 😕

You could easily convert between formats. Generate ical from notes, and vice versa
Definitely. I guess what I'm wondering is what advantages a nostr-specific cal format gives us. e.g. starting from scratch has meant we don't get recurring events right away (something iCalendar already supports): https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/52.md#recurring-calendar-events
Easier to read and write calendar data. It’s extremely painful to run a calendar server and get it to work between apple and google devices. Also having data in nostr so i can easily sync and display my timeblocks and calendar events between all my nostr apps
