Sorry, it is late and I'm tired :-) Comment #4 is important for reproducing it:
Now that I think about it, the bug is originally about unmuted, **inactive
devices** which cause the 0-vol icon beeing shown. (I just reproduced this bug
on Plasma 5.23.4. btw)

At least on Plasma 5.23.4 this is not the case, the mute icon is indeed shown
(see attachment I just added).

On the general behaviour of the icon after scrolling to zero volume:
Showing zero vol. icon = bad: you can't see at quick glance that mic is muted
(which is important)
Showing mute icon = good: you can quickly see that mic is muted; bad: but not
all mics might be muted (which is important to know too)
Showing mute icon + muting all mics (equivalent to clicking on mic icon itself)
= good: you can quickly see all mics are muted.

Also I want to note that even if the 0% vol icon is shown, the "hud" volume
info which appears in the center of the screen tells that the mic has been
muted together with a muted icon.

This use case could still be done by opening the volume applet and adjusting it
there. I'm talking about the volume control using scrolling above the tray
icons.
