The notch itself doesn't bother me but the way they deal with menu bar apps does. Disappearing them into the notch's void when you have enough to push them there is really really bad UX.

The only app that I'm aware of that actually helps address this is Bartender, when they should have figured this shit out before they came out. It's possible that they introduced some fix in MacOS Ventura, but there's no indication that this is the case so far.
