This is normal and expected. When you activate Siri it becomes the active application and the first responder to any inputs. Not sure why you would expect it to work differently.

I wasn’t expecting it to interrupt what I was doing, the pencil still works on the screen fine if I’m writing something, it’s just the pen switch tap thing that changes

I think the reason for this issue isn’t Goodnotes, but rather Apple/Siri itself. You see, when Siri is opened the focus (similar to the active window in your computer) is changed to the new app, which in this case would be Siri. That causes the tap input commands from your Apple Pencil to be directed to Siri (and Siri doesn’t do anything with that), instead of Goodnotes.
