Workaround
Please test if this helps: try disabling 5G, and confirm whether you still face random reboots? From “Network selection menu” or “Settings->Mobile and internet->SIMs->preferred network type > change it from 5G to 4G , if the option says NR/LTE.... , choose LTE/TDSCDMA.... (NR stands for 5G, and disabling it may help) Please comment if this helped.
