Description
As this is ultimately a plotly.js issue, I'm referencing the following issue from plotly.py
Isosurface and other 3D types prevent Scatterplot hover
When plotting an Isosurface, Mesh3D etc, and also a Scatter3D trace,
the Isosurface object seems to prevent the hover functionality of the Scatter-Plot when trying to hover over a Scatter3D marker,
even though the Isosurface's hoverinfo parameter has been set to "skip".
reproducible example (written in Python, but illustrates the issue and produces the HTML and JS):
from pandas import DataFrame as DF
import plotly.graph_objects as go
df = DF([(20,10,400)])
plot = go.Figure()
plot.add_trace(go.Isosurface(
x=[5,5,5,5,50,50,50,50],
y=[25,0,25,0,25,0,25,0],
z=[500,500,0,0,500,500,0,0],
value=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8],
hoverinfo='skip',
opacity=0.05,
colorscale=[[0,'yellow'],[1,'yellow']],
showscale=False
)
)
plot.add_trace(go.Scatter3d(
x=df[0], y=df[1], z=df[2],
mode='markers', marker={'color': 'midnightblue', 'size': 5}, opacity=1,
name='scatterplot'
)
)
plot.show()

Research direction
Start with the reproducible example in the issue and compare Isosurface or Mesh3D with a Scatter3D trace whose hoverinfo is set to "skip". The issue is done when hovering the Scatter3D marker works despite the overlaid 3D trace.
