It was unclear to me from the review, does the Spotlight Siri integration now let us type "Remind me to put out the trash cans when I get home" in Spotlight and have it perform the same action Siri would have done? I feel like for the couple of things that Siri parses well, it's way easier to use than the app itself, but I'm not going to speak into my computer in my open-plan office.

That's a strange design choice.
Well, it's not a good design choice, but it's what you might expect of a slapdash attempt to make a "minimum viable marketing bullet point" release with a skeleton crew of engineers maintaining the product line that is currently the company's lowest priority.
Well if you are going to use keyboard anyway, why not just create a reminder yourself instead of asking Siri to do it?
Because I don't know how to create a reminder in macOS, but I know how to type a sentence
