Anecdotally, I've found that it works much better for me if I only have notifications on for apps I care about and judiciously turn the rest off. I then leave my phone on vibrate because turning it on silent always lead to me wondering "What if someone tried to message me?" and checking it.

I like the idea of trying out airplane mode.

I've really restricted the notification diet. All apps are default off.

The small circle of folks that need to reach me can make unknown desk phones ring too. Vibrating is fine too but telling the spouse it's airplane mode for 2 hours seems to work too.
