Have you looked at the readme file here...
https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu#
It mentions some issues with the new "official" driver.
I certainly found that the "official" driver is still a bit unreliable and have stuck with the community one for now.
Seems that some others are doing the same.....

As far as wireless keyboard/Mouse dongles; I found that they sometimes caused issues on the Pi5 with interference with other wireless devices when I was using a metal case. I found that connecting them via a USB extension wire helped. The problem has pretty much disappeared now I've changed to a plastic case.
