I have my phone set to this specific VoiceOver setting, and have found that it too can be inconsistent at times. Another option to allow notifications but not be alerted by them is to mute the sounds from the phone, and also do a 3 finger double tap on the screen. This will mute speech. This way, you still get notifications but they aren't spoken and no sound comes through. I use this a lot when taking a nap or in a movie. I still get all my notices but only have to worry about the vibrations coming through. This would be an option if you did not want to turn Do Not Disturb on but you wanted to not be alerted by voice or sound when getting a notification. Perhaps there is no one perfect solution in this situation.
