I've been fighting for most of the morning to keep my earpods connected to
my phone for more than 5 minutes - not an exaggeration - and am now
contemplating new ones.
 
Anyone have recommendations of reliable BT - and I mean rock solid
reliability - headphones/earpods? I mostly use them with my iphone while
commuting, travelling and gardening for mostly music, but also on
teams/zoom calls on my mac. I need them to be small and portable.

 
I've never had problems with Sony. I have several over-ear headphones (from
cheap to expensive) and in-ear buds. All work just fine and sound great.
 
None have ever failed. Not to say that Sony headphones are indestructible.
Just reporting my experience.

Thanks. Others elsewhere have also mentioned Sony. Added to the shortlist.

The main problem with over-ear headphones is
that the foam pads eventually fall apart. Some can be replaced, some can't.

Yep. Have some AKGs that I love but one ear has fallen apart. I bought a
pair of Austrian Audio to replace them which are very good, but a bit on
the bright side.
