I have seen some critical views on Nostr as a part of decentralized network discussions, but most seem to be focused on culture not function.

What are the functional / protocol differences that make you prefer ActivityPub over Nostr?

No, it is encrypted at the user level but doesn't use a blockchain. Some servers have a bitcoin based tipping feature, but that isn't core to the protocol.
