I found this and it worked . I had the same issue and finally fixed it. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display and Text > Larger Text. I turned off Larger Accessibility Sizes then slid the font size all the way down. Then reopened Reminders and could see the Dismiss option. Then I put my font sizes back where they were and everything seems to work now. Hope that helps!
