In general, footnotes (will) behave a bit better, especially those used nested in other mechanisms. A side effect of more control is that we can do other tricks too and we're playing with it (kind of fun).

It depends on what you want. This works ok:
\setuplayout
[cutspace=5cm,
width=middle,
margin=4cm]
\setuptexttexts
[margin]
[] [{\directsetup{notabene}}]
\startsetups notabene
\vbox to \textheight \bgroup
\setupalign[tolerant]
\topskipcorrection
\placenotes[endnote][before=,after=]
\vfilll
\egroup
\stopsetups
\starttext
test \endnote{\input ward }\par
test \endnote{x}\par
test \endnote{x}\par
\setups{notaflush}
\stoptext
This one handles overflow (suboptimal, nicer is stepwise flushing) but
this one also flushes notes that have refs on the next page. It just
indicates the usual: most can be done in tex without too much hassle but
one always needs to think about the edge cases as users can drop
anything in there and all can interfere.
\newbox\MyNoteOverflow
\startsetups notabene
\setbox\scratchbox\vbox\bgroup
\setupalign[tolerant]
\ifvoid\MyNoteOverflow \else
\unvbox\MyNoteOverflow
\fi
\placenotes[endnote][before=,after=]
\egroup
\scratchdimen\dimexpr\textheight-.5\lineheight\relax
\ifdim\ht\scratchbox>\scratchdimen
\global\setbox\MyNoteOverflow\box\scratchbox
\setbox\scratchbox\vsplit \MyNoteOverflow to \scratchdimen
\fi
\vbox\bgroup
\topskipcorrection
\unvbox\scratchbox
\vfilll
\egroup
\stopsetups
\startsetups notaflush
\doloop {
\page
\ifvoid\MyNoteOverflow
\exitloop
\else
\null \page
\fi
}
\stopsetups
\starttext
test \endnote{\input ward }\par
test \endnote{x}\par
test \endnote{x}\par
\setups{notaflush}
\stoptext
Variants (i can make one but not with this warm weather) can use
selective flushing (all kinds of things are possible with notes) but
another challenge is to have an independent criterium hooked into the
page builder (when i'm done with playing with extensions regarding pars
i might give that a go ... as usual more a challenge than a need so i
need some motive).
