YouTube Music in the notch vs the menu bar
The menu bar is always there; YouTube Music in NotNotch is glanceable and then gone. YouTube Music can attach through the optional WebSocket controller.

When the notch is better
Use YouTube Music in the notch when you want a short live view without another icon in the menu bar.
When the menu bar stays
NotNotch does not hide Control Center or system extras. YouTube Music complements them.
