I have already (kind of) implemented this by programming a shortcut into my keyboard, and it was working ok until this week, that I found some "ai asisted" conference apps mute you in-app when they detect your mic being muted for some time, and do not un-mute you afterwards
I hope this push to talk feature solves that
Turn the mic volume down to zero instead of muting the mic?
Not 0, but maybe 1% could work. However, my mic is an external one, when muted/unmuted an status led serves as a visual queue, which is quite helpful. Tinkering with %volume would disable this
Could try to create a virtual device that serves only to relay the microphone without getting muted itself
