Since then, I've been upgrading packages regularly, and seen some improvements, but the phone doesn't seem to be getting any faster, and in fact it's running the battery down faster now than before.
Are there any benefits to flashing a new image, vs simply keeping the phone up-to-date?
As far as I know, not a ton typically. Though right now they have switched from Debian Bullseye to Debian Bookworm which means you won't be getting much as far as updates goes on that device for the foreseeable future. I think if you either are on the unstable branch of Mobian or switch to Bookworm you will get Phosh 0.13 which is a massive improvement over the previous versions and includes answers calls from the lock screen (properly integrated) and getting lock screen notifications which makes this feel like an actual phone for once.
