suddenly I have all kinds of "mairix" stuff interrupting my #emacs
workflow. It's in org and it's in Gnus. What in the world is this?

I found http://www.rpcurnow.force9.co.uk/mairix/, which leads me to
ask -- what's the difference between mairix and NotMuch?

Probably notmuch.

Mairix hasn’t been updated in five years, so it’s probably safe to
ignore it and just use notmuch for everything (since notmuch is
regularly updated).

I believe I experienced this error due to using the Straight.el
example to include contrib since orgmode refactored it recently. This
included the org mairix stuff. I fixed it as follows:

I found and customized =org-link-parameters= to no longer include the
Mairix lines, which were probably created when I included all the
contrib with straight. The problem is gone now.

By the way, it would be nice if there were a compliment to =org-add-
link-type= like =org-remove-link-type=. I was surprised to have one
but not the other.
