Recent upgrades seem to have fixed the problem:

     2021-05-02 10:43:16 root@dipsy ~
     # apt-get upgrade
     ...
     The following packages will be upgraded:
       apt apt-utils bind9-host firefox-esr gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 
gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-libav 
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 
gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly 
gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio gstreamer1.0-x
       libapt-inst2.0 libapt-pkg5.0 libbind9-161 libdns-export1104 
libdns1104 libgstreamer-gl1.0-0 libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 libisc-export1100 libisc1100 libisccc161 
libisccfg163 liblwres161 openjdk-11-jre openjdk-11-jre-headless
       thunderbird wpasupplicant xserver-common xserver-xorg-core 
xserver-xorg-legacy


Reboot:

     2021-05-10 19:37:46 dpchrist@dipsy ~
     $ cat /etc/debian_version
     10.9


I seem to recall similar experiences with Debian 7 and 9 -- after enough 
point releases and package updates, graphics became stable.


HTH,

David
