Get an Apple Watch.
Obviously a bit tongue in cheek as not everyone can afford it, but my phone hasn't made a sound for 7 years and I love it so much.
Also, my colleagues phone blares out We are the Champions EVERU FUCKING TIME it rings and it fucks me off no end, so I think alerts can be selfish AF (whilst I appreciate that people are more concerned re dings than ring tones here)
Well, I have a bad news for you, they broke the notification on the Apple Watch with iOS17.
You used to get notifications / wake up alarm only on your watch if it was unlocked.
Now even if my watch is unlocked and on my wrist and my phone is locked, my phone will get the notification and 5 seconds later my watch will get the same. It's annoying af.
They also did something to the notification/vibration with the latest watchOS version because both my medication reminder and my wake up alarm on my watch no longer wake me up, the vibration is much more attenuated than before. Maybe it's a ultra 2 defect?

Even before I got a Watch my phone was always on silent.

A $40 Mi Band will do the same. I have one to track my sleep (it works better than my Apple Watch) and it was my daily watch for many years.

I got an Apple Watch just for my fitness tracking and actually I found it bizarre that you can’t just turn off all notifications, you have to toggle them off by every app individually! I don’t want my wrist buzzing all day, I want less distractions not more.
