The Sidebar is now closed with the Sidebar button at top-left of the screen:




Note: For this button to be visible, if Bookmarks/Reading List/History is displayed in the sidebar, you must first tap the “Safari” button that appears in this location.

There are many changes within iPadOS15 - and changes to Safari and its management of Bookmarks is only one of the significant changes. 


Many would concur with your observation concerning the the revised iPadOS15 Safari Sidebar. Here is just one of the many discussions about this topic:

This is an incompetent change to LANDSCAPE mode on iPad.


In portrait mode the bookmarks bar appears in front, so you can dismiss it but touching the webpage (which is darkened). Great! Works fine.


But in Landscape, it acts completely different, taking up permanent space on the left (no darkened webpage) UNTIL you press the top left button several times, depending on how deep you are in your path of bookmark folders. ie. the more folders within folders, the more times you have to press the bloody button!


APPLE! Please darken the webpage and make the bookmark sidebar temporary like in portrait!
