Seemingly random.

You could try disabling the NetworkManager service, and reinstalling
dhcpcd so the WiFi is only selected by the contents of the
wpa_supplicant.conf file. It worked fine for everything before Bookworm.

Up to now RasPiOS has been trouble-free to the point that I know very little
about it. Trying to second-guess the developers is likely to end badly,
at least when I'm the one doing the guessing 8-)

The maturity of Raspbian's Bookworm is there yet. I had to jump to it for my new Pi 5 machines, and I've also got it on a Pi 4 for reference, but the older headless machines are staying on Bullseye until some of the problems have been ironed out.
