During my attempt to run bookworm over the last 3 months I had the problem of the wifi dropping as well.
Couldn't be arsed to find out why. Real life gets in the way.
My Hammer / nut solution is run a cron job every 5 min.
If I can't ping the router then    sleep 10
If I still can't ping the router sleep 20
If I still can't ping the router sleep 30
If I still can't ping the router reboot.

I suspect this won't help you but all my pi zeroes are headless and this does (did) work. See my bookworm resolution in the other thread.

This is a very poor solution. If you must do an automatic reboot when network connectivity fails, install and configure the watchdog package.

Oddly the name I gave to the script was lan_watchdog :-)
Don't need it now. I'm back on buster and the wifi is solid.

 Getting to the bottom of the problem is the best thing to do.

I'm happy to just accept that someone somewhere sometime fscked up and broke it.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they now stand in a dole queue next to someone from Crowdstrike. :-!
