We cannot achieve this straight forward, as we know Notes (annotation) is a separate entity which may have many records for a parent entity record. This is not a simple field in form, cannot be accessed in business rule. Instead of showing in subgrid, Platform giving different UI/UX for notes only like Timeline etc.

You can write script to validate/prompt user to create a child note on need basis. But not before creating a parent record itself.

This was already discussed in community, maybe you can have a custom mandatory multiline field to capture notes & rollup to annotation, can handle different scenarios/validations in code.
