I don't know if there are other aggregators out there, other than maybe Primal. But aggregating all notes is only going to be realistic for so long, and nostr.band has been known to go down from time to time. 😂
Most users still post to one or more of the big, public relays, too. That would be relay.damus.io, relay.primal.net, and nos.lol. Having them on the fallback list would always be a good idea, but this is also just a stop-gap rather than a solution.
If Quokka (he/they) (npub1gxw…k8jl)'s client is going to be generating the nevents pointing to these notes, though, he should be able to include relay hints in them based on the author's outbox relays. Then there is only an issue finding those notes if the author changes their outbox relays, or there is another client that starts using the same note kind and doesn't include relay hints.
The outbox model is great, if you know the note author, since you can just look up their relay list... Maybe note aggregators like nostr.band will one day be unrealistic and they will just aggregate the note ID and author's pubkey, then the client can look up the author's outbox relays based on that.
