Not very often and randomly SCREAMS "hardware." Software is not intermittent; computers are deterministic.
Me too clicks are not indicative of much, because people will use them if their issue is even remotely similar. And what does the flash not working in cold weather have to do with speakers not working?
But even assuming that the clicks are valid, and somehow there is some connection between the LED not lighting in cold weather and sound being intermittent we have (from your numbers) around 1500 similar reports.
Through the end of last year Apple sold 18 million iPhone X models. We don't have figures for this year yet, so I'll just go with 18 million. You say 1500 have a problem. That's 0.01% of all units sold. A number much closer to (and lower than average) random "infant mortality" hardware failures than "random" software bugs (which just can't happen).
There is a possibility that it is user error, such as not understanding how Do not Disturb works, for example. Which would be a much more logical explanation than a random software problem. Or even if it does not apply to you specifically, it could apply to many of those "me toos".
I'm basing this analysis on my 50 years experience as an electronics engineer, 40 of which has been in software development that has included coding, analysis, design, architecture, project management and end user support.
I've said all I'm going to say on this; you do what you want. If that's wait for a software fix that will probably never come, fine by me. But if it happened to my phone I'd be in an Apple store in a flash, and demand a replacement phone if they couldn't point out what I was doing wrong (most likely they'd offer one; I wouldn't have to demand anything).
