You will get signifcantly less clearance issues if you go with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7372 over the etrailer Hitch item # e98855. I have attached some pictures below that will better show this but the main thing you are getting from the EcoHitch is that the crosstube installs behind your bumper. The crossbar on the etrailer hitch and the 2" receiver are all hanging down below your bumper.
Both of these hitches are confirmed to fit your 2023 Honda Odyssey. I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7372. The EcoHitch will give you 11-1/2" of ground clearance and the only visible portion of the hitch is the 2" x 2" receiver.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56382 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
