Full Hover functionally is only available to 2022 models of iPad Pro. The 2021 models of iPad Pro had access to the Accessibility hover functions with iPadOS 16.1 and later (iPadOS 16.3.1 being current) - enabled from iPad settings:

Settings > Accessibility > Hover Text


This functionality is documented within the iPad User Guide. Here is a direct link to the associated page of the Guide:

Preview tools and controls with Apple Pencil - Apple Support


Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see full hover functionality or other software features made available to earlier iPad models, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to make a request:
