I'm adding some custom network functionality in C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 19.5.303\houdini\python3.9libs\nodegraphhook.py.
However, it seems like any time I want to test changes I've made, I need to restart Houdini. Is there some way to tell houdini to reload the module?
Auto-reload nodegraphhooks.py?

Try this code
Also, I think it's better that you don't modify the "nodegraphhooks" Python file from the installation directory for safety reasons. You'd better make another Python library directory in the documents folder, so something like "C:\Users\alexa\OneDrive\Documents\houdini21.0\python3.11libs" and copy the "nodegraphhooks" from the installation directory to the documents folder.
import importlib import nodegraphhooks as hook importlib.reload(hook)
