Did you try the following FAQ for a temporary workaround:
https://sourceforge.net/p/googlesyncmod/faq/2022/02/hyperlink-and-mailto-formatting-problems-in-outlook/
For solution, did you try it with latest version 4.1.28?
And what is your setting, are you using "Force RTF" setting in the GCSM settings form?

This solution doesn't work.
The Notes field still has strange characters.
