Yes. The latest release of PIOS (Bookworm) has many slight 'issues' and
seems less well understood and documented and its all changed yet again.
The reliable way to get fixed IP is to use network manager if you have a
GUI and nmcli if you dont.

This is how its all set up, and although there may well be ways to fox
it, you always run the risk that upgrades may overwrite the changes you
made and fuck everything up.

I can say that on my Pi4/Bookworm the nmcli route worked perfectly
