I really want to like Apples handwriting recognition, it's half the reason I bought an Apple Pencil with my new iPad. It's just kind of difficult to use in practice.
It's just not that good at recognizing my handwriting, and best I can tell has zero mechanism for teaching it to better understand.
When enabling the "autocorrect" where it cleans up your writing, it so often replaces my handwriting with the entirely wrong word as to be infuriating. On top of that, it often does so long after I wrote it so I might not even notice that it happened until I try to read the note back later.
As the author mentioned, having to switching to eraser and back is painful and annoying. I really wish the options for reflowing a document were a lot more intuitive. If I need to go back and add a sentence or two mid note I can try to draw a line to make space but it rarely works like one would expect.
I think all in all the feature is neat but half baked, and they really need to do a bunch more user testing to get it into something that you would want to use rather than a neat tech demo.
