This is really nice and a very good idea.

I would just add a restrictive enum to all of this for identifier key instead of IMO too permissive String:

enum NotificationCenterKey: String {
    case name = "person.name.changed"
}

@propertyWrapper struct Notifier<Value> {
    private let identifier: NotificationCenterKey

    var wrappedValue: Value? {
        didSet {
            NotificationCenter.default.post(name: Notification.Name(identifier.rawValue), object: wrappedValue)
        }
    }
    
    init(identifier: NotificationCenterKey) {
        self.identifier = identifier
    }
}

@propertyWrapper class Notified<Value> {
    private let identifier: NotificationCenterKey

    init(identifier: NotificationCenterKey) {
        self.identifier = identifier

        NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: Notification.Name(identifier.rawValue), object: nil, queue: nil, using: {[weak self] notification in
              self?.wrappedValue = notification.object as? Value
        })
    }
}

struct Person {
  @Notifier(identifier: .name)
  var name: String?

}

class Observer {
  @Notified(identifier: .name)
  var name: String?
}

var person = Person()
var observer = Observer()

observer.name /// nil
person.name = "Hello world"
observer.name /// "Hello world"
