Made all the changes and now with pipewire audio the volume buttons work during calls - thanks @treebeard for your help!
Headset operation is still a bit flaky, but really no worse than before. Connecting a bluetooth headset no longer produces a loud buzz but audio is not routed to the headset either - or apparently anywhere. No audio at the phone either with the bluetooth headset connected. This condition persists until the phone is rebooted. (I did follow the bluetooth instructions in the Debian wiki.) The wired headset does not work at all unless it is plugged in after dialing out. If plugged in before making the call, audio stays with the phone and is not routed to the headset. This is basically the same behavior as before, though previously only the headset microphone was affected.
So initial impression is that overall it's an improvement but some previous bugs/annoyances remain.
