For me, I'd like/expect pipewire to lock the software volume at 100% and adjust only the hardware volume if AVRCP absolute volume is supported by the head. (This seems to be how Android and Windows behave.) I mainly care about keeping everything in sync so that no matter if I adjust the volume using the keyboard, GUI volume slider, or buttons on the headset itself, it'll always behave the same. A lot of the time, I end up needing to hit both the volume up keyboard shortcut and the volume up button on my headset because one of the two is already at the max.
I believe your first point should automatically work once this is implemented. Pipewire seems to already support remembering the volume per bluetooth device (though it's just the software volume that's being remembered right now).
There's some work on getting AVRCP absolute volume implemented here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/46...
