Pi 4 has been a constant annoyance. I have semi-random but very frequent problems with wifi on the bootup, where if the interface doesn't get up initially then a reboot is definitely needed but the problem can just repeat over a number of restarts. I think I've even tested reloading the kernel module to no avail. Having something plugged in the USB ports seems to affect the issue, which is a pain since I'm using the device for streaming to USB hi-fi DAC. So there's almost always some fiddling required to get things running.
I've found similar reports without any working solutions. Apparently there are known issues with USB 3 and wifi in general, I guess one thing to try would be using a separate USB wifi dongle. I think I should have one laying around... somewhere.
