Thank you Micha and lucas.  I have then upgraded my notebook to bullseye
and so far it has been pleasant indeed.

So you recommend avoiding sid even for specific package minor-version
upgrades with security fixes?

The Debian wiki says otherwise.  See
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting#Best_practices_for_Testing_users

I currently follow the Debian wiki advice.  I carefully monitor the list
of installed packages from unstable, to avoid unintended upgrades.
