> currently countries have restrictions on entry most of them either insisting on you being vaccinated or to present a current Covid test

Anecotal data point #1:

I've entered Italy three times [by road] in the last six months, each time with a sheaf of paperwork to hand demonstrating my need to travel, negative test, EU27 residency, the full nine yards.

During none of the three visits did I even see a border guard / police / Carabinieri / $whoever at or close to the border, never mind get stopped, never mind have my documents checked.

There is policy, and there is reality. Maybe the gap between them in Italy is marginally larger than in some other places?

AFIK the countries of the Shengen area haven't suddenly hired many guards to control everybody just because of COVID.
