Thanks for your help! I switched to `org-trigger-hook' without issue.

I remember trying that before adding the hook (and I tried again today)
but the problem with adding the note directly is that I only seem to
manage storing the note where the task was before being archived,
eg. with this (or any variants I could think of while making sense of
what note functions do):

#+begin_src elisp
  (when (member (plist-get properties ':to) '("CANCELLED" "READ"))
    (org-add-log-note)
    (my/org-roam-archive-to-today))
#+end_src

which I find logical, since `org-store-log-note' is only called after
=C-c C-c= is pressed, whereas the archival function is called just after
the note buffer is created. So I still struggle to see how I could do
without the hook (maybe if the archival function would return the
position of the task after moving it, but that seems more complicated
than just using the hook).

A patch modified to match the suggested location for the `run-hooks' is
attached.
