I'm sorry that the upgrade has caused you problems, but I think this
is overstating the severity since there is a workaround (use the GNOME
on Xorg session) and you can still use 2 monitors on Wayland.

Could you try reporting this issue upstream?
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues

The Debian GNOME team has limited ability to help with complex mutter issues.

Notably, Debian Testing went straight from GNOME Shell/Mutter 44 to 46
so there is a whole year of code changes in this week's upgrade. And
it's not practical to revert your computer to 44 or 45 now.

Thank you,
