I've only used connman on systems where NM was failing, but if NM

For me, Debian Testing with KDE "just works" with networking, except
when I must bring up WiFi and then coordinate with a web-based login.

Your body is governed by ancillary concerns like “stopping the intolerable
pain” and “not dying”. Those types of concerns have no place in cycling.
