Setting 'notes.rewrite.rebase' is, as you mentioned, not necessary, but not sufficient either. See here, especially the second paragraph:

   notes.rewriteRef
       When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
       qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. May be a glob, in
       which case notes in all matching refs will be copied. You may also
       specify this configuration several times.

       Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
       enable note rewriting.

       Can be overridden with the GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF environment
       variable.
