Try "media volume only"[1]. I use it and it claims not to drain battery and it is open source. This should be a setting imo.

I'd go so far as to say it should be the default!

With the new-ish priority mode and "do not disturb" modes, I change my ringer volume about as often as I change my "alarm" volume (which is almost never).

I only ever change my media volume, and thanks to apps like that one it can become the default.

I would welcome the change. Yeah I actually have my alarm volume locked using "volume lock" do to accidental changes by others.
