The notch filter would remove pretty much everything in the luma above 3 MHz, and that's the missing sharpness. I used to work for RCA doing better chroma luma separators in the 80s.

I'm going to judge, that based on this kind of picture mine produces, it's going to be a comb filter due to the dot crawl it has.
