I have 2 rules set on my Pixel -

First one sets my phone to silent when I arrive at work (500m radius I think). It also sets it back to loud (or whatever the previous state was) automatically when I leave that radius.

Second one sets my phone to loud when my phone connects to my home WiFi. This helps with the problem you describe - but agreed, phone stuck on silent isn't generally an issue (until I miss some courier's phone call and kick myself).

Where do you set these rules?

Pixel phone settings -> system -> rules

It may be Pixel-exclusive, though I used to use the Google Assistant rules on my old phone and they mostly worked IIRC.
