I did follow some advices such as trying to configure from System Preferences->Keyboard->App Shortcuts
however, from my understanding, Apple's method is based on Text-matching of menu items text, and "Add Row Below" is not in Apple Note's menu items...
Please don't tell me that Apple indeed engineered their shortcut customization system based on menu item text matching....
MacBook Pro (2021)
Add Row Below is in a menu. Unfortunately, it is in a widget (the Column/Row button.)
Standard menus, submenus, and contextual menus can be matched.
Add Row Below is not context-sensitive to the selected row. It is relative the row header button. There's no way it could match that from a shortcut and guess the correct row. Since you have to select the row header widget, a keyboard shortcut would be superfluous.
Apple would have to implement their row/column insertion routine as an actual menu item associated with the row cells. Numbers has a menu item for it. Notes table widget doesn't even have its own contextual menu.
Send them feedback. The Notes table widget has a long list of drawbacks. I wouldn't put that one high on my list of fixes, but I don't think Apple and I see eye-to-eye on what are important features/fixes.

Add Row Below is context-sensitive to the row where the cursor is placed.
The row header button is unrelated.
You can easily confirm that by placing the cursor with the keyboard on a specific row and press Cmd-Option-Down
it will create a new row without any interaction with row header button.
I didn't find anything. this is the official apple keyboard shortcut for adding a new row in table.
I just pointed out that it doesn't need to "guess the correct row" because it's already bounded to cursor position.
apple could indeed have Apple Notes' main menu changed according to cursor position to enable "Add Row Below". You can have a peek at Microsoft's OneNote to see how it works.
to sum up - the context exists, it doesn't need to "guess the correct row"

You were asking for a shortcut to "Add Row Below", and there is one, as you said... so what is the problem now?
Feel free to send Apple feedback.

It's hard not to since it's true.
Ctrl-click inside a Table and outside. There is no difference in the menu, nor any table-related commands.
It appears you found a shortcut.
as I wrote - I would like to customize that shortcut to a different keystroke.
