Okay, I blame a LONG day and bad memory.
I went and found our testing notes:
macOS name signed notarized stapled
10.9 Mavricks OK FAIL FAIL
10.10 Yosemite OK FAIL FAIL
10.11 El Capitan OK FAIL FAIL
10.12 Sierra OK OK OK
10.13 High Sierra OK OK OK
10.14 Mojave OK OK OK
10.15 Catalina * OK OK
The divider is Sierra and above: Notarized DMGs are good. El Capatan and
below, Notarized DMGs are bad.
My bad memory. Sorry to cause unnecessary concern.

This is the first time I have heard that anything notarized will not
open in Sierra. I have been watching the whole notarization topic,
but apparently not closely enough. Could you point me to some info
from Apple about what is -not- supported in Sierra?
I support an entire flock of Sierra computers. We are preparing to
roll out Mojave soon. I guess that better be done ASAP.
I can't point you to any Apple materials as we discovered this once we
notarized out DMG for Catalina and was performing final installation
testing on Catalina and other versions of macOS
You can download the macOS DMG for our app at
http://www.researchware.com/downloads.html
Scroll down the page to the download links. You will see ONE DMG for
Catalina and another DNG for other version of OSX. Download the
Catalina DMG and you will find the notarized DMG opens on Catalina,
Mojave, and High Sierra, but throws and error on Sierra and below.
We choose to Notarize the DMG rather than the installer app. I realize
while Apple allows this (currently) is is not what their documentation
on Notarization speaks to which is Notarizing the APP and performing
drag-installs from the DMG rather than using an Installer app.
Our application HyperRESEARCH, our Installer are both code signed. The
Catalina DMG is code signed, notarized, and stapled. The non-Catalina
DMG is not code signed (and not notarized).
We used this excellent guidance to figure out how to do notarization:
