Appears only required, when all other methods fail, and, should not effect WiFi usage:

Indeed it appears, if any of the settings failed to be applied. All failed settings are not applied then, as ifconfig does not bring up the interface.
But the cases, where impotent settings cannot be applied without interface up, seem to be rare, as we never faced this issue since the quite long time net-tools are not pre-installed any more and got removed on update.

Bug solved on current version: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=908886#10

• Download available on unstable/sid repo so far only: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/wireless-tools/download
• Only change that I could bind is indeed the ifconfig line being replaced by: /sbin/ip link set dev "$IFACE" up, which we can do ourself on v6.16 patch:
  sed -i '\|^[[:blank:]]ifconfig "$IFACE" up$|c\\t/sbin/ip link set dev "$IFACE" up' /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/wireless-tools
