It looks like wireplumber is an integral part of
pipewire.
My understanding is that wireplumber is the "policy" part of PW. PW by itself
does not make connections or apply rules, that's what wireplumber is for. If
my understanding is correct [0], perhaps a way forward would be to implement a
wireplumber alternative that handles devices and connections the way you want?
That is, if you can't find a way to configure WP appropriately.
[0] I've only skimmed it to see if my base understanding is correct, but
https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/design/
understanding_session_management.html looks like it explains the core tasks of
WirePlumber (e.g., "device enablement" and "link management" pertain
to
complaints made in this thread).
