Recently, Ubuntu One dropped its Tomboy Notes sync feature. Is there any way to recover the notes that I've synced with Ubuntu One, now that the sync feature is gone? I currently don't have the notes synced with any of my computers, but I don't want to lose all the notes that I've synced over the last few years.

There is an app for Android called Tomdroid which had experimental support for web syncing and seems to be close to making a new release. See this thread on the tomdroid mailing list.
Firstly you should set the synchronization options of tomboy choosing synchronize to local folder.
Then store your the folder with removable hardware (you can also synchronize to dropbox). Set the tomboy synchronization path again after you reinstall your system to restore your notes.
I've done it before.

According to the article:
So it appears you can keep using the feature from Tomboy.
That said, it's a good idea to keep external backups of any important material you place on cloud services.
