When installing a trailer hitch on a 2018 Honda CR-V like the Draw Tite part # 76128 that you referenced Honda states that the hands free liftgate will be blocked and they do offer a relocation harness for this as the Power Liftgate Sensor Relocation Bracket as part # 08U59-TLA-100A which you'd have to get through them. That said, we've also had a few customer come back and say they were still able to operate the hands free liftgate without the harness. They just had to be very specific with where they kick and it worked like normal.
I attached a picture of one of the reviews we got from a customer that shows that mentioned.
