Is it plausible that running the "updates available" routine somehow
un-sets the WiFi region selection? The selections look unchanged, but
re-running the configuration seems to fix WiFi operation.

 After much pissing about with Bookworm + Pi Zero 2W - losing wifi regularly - even tried replacing NetworkManager with dhcpcd - I went back to Bullseye (11). No problems at all in the last week. No NetworkManager (well disabled) bur dhcpcd working.
 

I had that, but stuck with bookworm and put a better PSU  on it.
Let see...how long its been up...
