The battery drain that you have might not be caused by the firmware after the update, my battery was charged over 7 weeks ago and is now on 35%.
Screentime was over 50hours, and I guess at least 10 more to go.
I do keep my wifi off, and only manually connect once a month perhaps to synchronize time. I have the Google play store connected, but I have frozen the Google play app, so I only unfreeze it and update when I know there is an update for the reader app that I use. That doesn't happen often, and I can see on my other Android devices if there is an update. It might be that the reader app doesn't use the Wacom layer so maybe it's polled a bit less? I use the AlreaderX beta, and often it is on night mode, not sure if that saves power. I have read that the Google Playstore app uses a lot of power, I can't reproduce where I read it though.
I use no other ways to connect to internet or bluetooth devices and I don't use other apps than my reader app, though I have 2 other apps installed - both frozen.

I'm lucky if I get half of that!
I have now disabled Google Play/services completely. Hopefully that will increase my battery life. I have put F-droid and Aurora store in the app freezer, too, and plan to update once per month, before I charge the device.
