Unfortunately, we don't have much capacity in the Debian GNOME to fix
nautilus bugs directly. (See the over 200 open nautilus bugs for
Debian.) I recommend you report these 2 issues (separately!) upstream.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues

I do see several standard xdg style directories in a clean install of
Debian Testing with GNOME and nautilus 47: Documents, Music, Pictures,
Videos, and Downloads. Notably, in Nautilus 47, these are now just
regular bookmarks and can be removed. In Nautilus 46, these were
hard-coded. You can add other locations to bookmarks by either
dragging the folder to the sidebar or by clicking ⋮ > Add Bookmark.

Thank you,
