This is an interesting and timely problem. I have a friend who got her screen curtain on but could not do the three finger triple tap to get it off. I know this was anxiety and perhaps a little frustration mixed in because when she put down the phone overnight just like that the next morning she tried on a whim and it went off. However, during the time she was having trouble because she had put on assisted touch I began trying to figure out how to make a new gesture for her in assistive touch. When I called Apple Accessibility about the problem,after I failed myself to help, they told me assistive touch is not hooked (wrong word, but not sure what the word is, to VO. It didn't make sense to me because people who are blind sometimes have difficulty with their hands just like sighted people. They told me there was no way to help the situation, but when I pointed out the problem she said she would absolutely put the problem of assistive touch to the engineers. So, no way of knowing if there may be a solution, but at least they are looking into it. The rotor and the twist is another really hard gesture to do for people with bad hands, shaking or wrist problems. I myself can do it, but I cannot turn back. I have to go completely through my rotor settings after using one to find a previous one. No understanding of why. My wrist just won't go left. Anyway, if they work on this problem and hook the answer to VO I think it can only make the iPhone experience even better for more people.

Switch controls do not work with VoiceOver, so that option is out. If you cannot double tap with two fingers because of a tremor disorder, maybe kissing the phone twice is a good way to go. Maybe, just maybe, with iOS 13 Apple will finally allow switch controls with VoiceOver. I've complained about this from day one as some of our clients cannot use iPhones because of tremors and switch controls are out because they also have to have VoiceOver.
