"Simply put, the mod allows you to play with friends throughout the entirety of the game with no restrictions," says the Nexusmods description. Seamless Co-op changes all of these things. The most frustrating limitation is that you can't ride Torrent, the spectral steed, when another player is in your game. You also can't enter caves and dungeons from the overworld with a summoned player present and have to re-summon once you enter the new area. When you defeat an area boss, for example, the player you summoned is automatically returned to their own game world.

Elden Ring wasn't designed to be played co-op from beginning to end: like FromSoft's earlier games, it was meant to be more of a drop-in experience.
