I promised to update after a few days of testing. After doing the following, the battery drain on my iPhone SE has improved so that it is only consuming 10%-20% per day which is very much better than I had before. I am encouraged. Thank you FURRYe38 and pdang for the help!
Here is what I did:
On the Orbi RBR50
- Enabled MU-MIMO
- Enabled Beamforming
- Enabled Fast Roaming
- Enabled Daisy Chain
On the iPhone SE
- Disabled Screen Time (a huge improvement; see https://www.idownloadblog.com/2018/10/08/ios-12-screen-time-iphone-battery-drain/)
- Turned off Background refresh on apps I don't need
- Started using Airplane Mode + WiFi while at home. An article suggested this would save both because both radios are not on and it is not constantly checking for cell coverage. I don't know if that is true but it seems to have helped.
