A testiment to how broken it all is is trying to set up oncall on my phone.

There is a tug of war whereby I want most things to be silenced at night DnD. Even phone calls could be scammers and spammers

But I want the alert and only that alert to wake me.

A dumber phone in a simpler time would make this easy. Just leave it on full volume and call my number!

I had this problem as well. "Luckily" for me, the Android work profile on my phone seems to bypass do not disturb settings.

Mine does but it won't override silent mode. So I just need to make sure I am not silent before going to sleep. But getting this to work to that extent wasn't trivial and require a phone call. An app from a different device profile can't pierce it.

Also "thankfully" our on call system (Pagerduty) can be configured to call you if you don't answer the notification quickly enough

Is this a situation where you are trying to set up a work app on your personal phone? If so, does your employer offer employer-owned phones?
