Hello J. As you said, if you ask Siri to call voice mail, she will tell you that there is or has no voice mail. I just tested this.
If you ask Siri to call yourself she will. You would then listen and follow instructions on how to retrieve your mail with the password you have set up. This is how you would retrieve voice mail remotely. If you simply ask Siri to play your most recent voice mail, she will do that if you have any unopened voice mail messages. If all of them have already been listened to, she will say something like "there are (or you have) no new voice mail messages but there (or you) have 2 saved voice mail messages." I'm sorry if anything I have written below is already well known to you. If you have notifications for phone off, you will not see in the DOC the number or calls or voice mails you may have gotten in any period of time. You will need to open the phone app to see if anything has come in. Once in the phone app, depending on what you select, Recents or Voice Mail, all the information you want is there. I have other disappointments and frustrations with Siri since updating, but trust the security patches alone made it worth it. I can't say. I understand there is or will be one more update for older phones such as the 6, I'll do that and then be done with it until whenever I need to replace my current phone.

I've had the same experiences re Siri saying I have no voice mail (Even when I have just missed a call and heard the notification announcing a message was left) and she will refuse to phone saying that there are no voice mail messages. It has been this way since I first got my IPhone 8 in January so I had thought it was just the way Siri is. (Frankly the feature is such a disappointment in so many ways one more didn't make a major difference.) But if these are actions that it can perform that would be great.
