I'm trying to get the POIs that I've added to my RWGPS tracks to show up on Garmin and Wahoo, but neither seems to work...

Garmin (with Openfietsmaps loaded) just shows the POIs from the maps, rather than the custom ones I added to the route. I've been exporting the route as a .gpx track and copying it into the NewFiles folder on the Garmin.

Wahoo Elemnt routes don't show anything at all when synced with RWGPS files over wifi??

Where are you adding and exporting your gpx track from.
If you open the gpx track file in a text editor does it include the track and the waypoints( POI's). see below a gpx file containing three wp (waypoints/poi) and a trk (track.

I'm adding POIs in RidewithGPS, then exporting the file as a gpx track (checking the box which says 'Include POI as waypoints). When I open it in text editor, I get a list of the waypoints at the start of the file, followed by the track (see the screenshot below).

It does appear that the symbol/ icon fields are just 'dot' rather than anything useful though... The other issue I'm having is the Openfietsmaps comes with its own heap of POIs, including carparks, which are massively cluttering up the map. Is there a way of cutting these out?
