I have a Soundcore Life Q30 headset and had a similar issue; I also
tried going down the ofono route and found it too much of a confusing
nightmare.

I ended up using the pulseaudio backport from
https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+archive/ubuntu/bluetooth/+packages and
also doing a local backport of bluez from impish, as well as the
/etc/pulse/system.pa and group membership changes from
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Bluetooth/#usingbluetoothwhenrunningpulseaudiointhesystemmode
(but not the rest of that page).  I haven't tried carefully rolling bits
of this back to find out exactly whether all four of those changes are
really needed; I'm sure that at least the pulseaudio backport is needed,
though, since you definitely need the changes from
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/491.

With this, my headset mostly works for me, although I still sometimes
find that pulseaudio crashes when my phone is also connected to the same
headset, which results in everything confusingly switching back to the
internal speaker/microphone until I figure out what's going on and
disconnect my phone.  Not ideal - from the crash, I think
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/617
may be related, though I haven't tried backporting that patch yet to see
if it helps.

Installing random backports is not for the faint of heart, so a more
sensible approach might be to try Ubuntu 21.10 (perhaps from a live USB
stick to start with, before committing to the upgrade).  Everything I
had to backport to get things working was from there, so there's a good
chance it will work better.
