As a data point, I had a CB1 with Trixie that was working fine with netplan until I did an apt upgrade to 26.2.1 and kernel 6.18.xx.
The upgrade made my physical interface disappear, which required a kernel downgrade (to 6.12.58) to get back. But even after the downgrade my wireless interfaces still wouldn't connect. The ultimate fix was to switch this board to NetworkManager like I did with my other CB1 that was running bookworm and required the NetworkManager fix from day one.
