So I have had mixed results with unattended upgrades on Debian based distros. It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. It turns out that sometimes you need to enable it though dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

Not a fan od it. I had more of a problem with unattended upgrades at least weekly restarting my system even though I had restarts explicitely disabled.
After a lot of “impossible” in the support forums saying “that would never happen” even after showing that it happened in flesh during the unattended upgrade, I uninstalled it and voila, I have only had a restart intentionally or by a crash.
It is impossible that unattended-upgrades reboots without the Unattended-Upgrade::Automatic-Reboot flag set. Source: the function def reboot_if_requested_and_needed(): on line 1688 in the script.
Probably your config was wrong
Same, never had unattended upgrades trigger a reboot in all the years it’s been set up on my project servers.
The only cause of reboots in my case has been power failures and dead UPSes lol
