I am not familiar with kernel's source but there is this part I found that
seems revelant for at least a work around (can fast reset bluetooth adapter
when it stops working). I just don't know how to patch kernel so...

drivers/bluetooth/hci_h5.c

/* Suspend/resume support. On many devices the RTL BT device loses power during
 * suspend/resume, causing it to lose its firmware and all state. So we simply
 * turn it off on suspend and reprobe on resume.  This mirrors how RTL devices
 * are handled in the USB driver, where the USB_QUIRK_RESET_RESUME is used
which
 * also causes a reprobe on resume.
 */
static int h5_btrtl_suspend(struct h5 *h5)
{
    serdev_device_set_flow_control(h5->hu->serdev, false);
    gpiod_set_value_cansleep(h5->device_wake_gpio, 0);
    gpiod_set_value_cansleep(h5->enable_gpio, 0);
    return 0;
}

Alright, since no one on the team is responding anytime soon, I even reported
to https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88/issues/72 also with no respond

I will leave my workaround here:

Add blacklist rtw88_8821ce to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Install https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce

modprobe rtw88_8821ce before suspend
modprobe -r rtw88_8821ce after resume

To do this automatically see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management#Sleep_hooks

That workaround only works for 5.10 kernel

For a better workaround see https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88/issues/72

In case the link die for whatever reason, quote:

Add usbcore.autosuspend=0 to kernel parameter or blacklist only bluetooth
adapter using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_management#USB_autosuspend

To anyone hoping for a fix just buy a AX200 because these guy don't fucking
care about linux users.

I will leave my workaround here:

Add boycott rtw88_8821ce to/and so forth/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Introduce https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
