> Their notifications easily get lost in a sea of other notifications and are easily missed.

Time-sensitive notifications (iOS 15+) fixed this for me. They’re always delivered immediately and stay on the Lock Screen for an hour.

I can’t recall if Apple retroactively changed the default for Calendar and Reminders, or whether that’s something I had to change.

Yeah, but (I think?) be default they make the same notification sound as everything else and don’t vibrate. I need something else to distinguish them other than appearing differently on the Lock Screen. My phone is usually in my pocket.

It would also be nice if you could snooze them.

At this point if I really want to be alerted (leave now or you miss the train, etc) I set an alarm. But you can’t really do that any sooner than the day you want to be alerted because alarms don’t have dates (technically you can sort of do it with alarms on specific days of the week).
