I disagree. Having your phone on silent isn’t an out-of-the-ordinary use.
I despise listening to various pings, but still want my phone to vibrate and the screen to turn on. Most people at work/school do the same.
“Do not disturb” is for specific, short durations, or while you sleep (if you don’t turn your phone off).
Its probably the “each other” that makes it trickier. I do ping my watch with an audible ring from my watch to find it, even though it’s always on silent.
