While this is not direct answer to your question about fixing the USB access on the phones. I too, run into the same problems, especially with newer phoneOS versions. I could not solve it reliably myself by USB, PTP or the other nasty protocols phone makers implement to push people to their clouds, literally.
My solution is my own ownCloud/nextCloud instance running in the other people's clouds. Pun intended. I sync the phone with local storage through that. I also use it to host own calendar and contacts, but that is beside the point. It works reliably, without USB and it adds value to me.
