I think any of those connection scenarios should work. Could be moving the bridge farther away from Orbi that solved it. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

thanks for your feedback and suggestion!!
but as written above , my origin setup was ORBI (Router mode) connected to modem. SONOS bridge connected to ORBI directly --> and it was working until the new FW update, as the first issues came up, i ve changed my setup to nearly the same as your : modem ( in router mode with active DHCP) , ORBI ( AP mode) connected to port 1 and SONOS bridge connected to port 2 - but this was also not working - therefore i ve deceided to set the ORBI to router mode to get both networks separated . ( btw. SONOS and Orbi were already set to operate at channel 1 and 11 , and no other network switch is spanning trees ;-) and no other wlan interferences were detected neither by SONOS support nor by scanning the WLAN by myself)
but anyway - i made a full reset of both orbis and set them up as suggested, with ORBI in AP mode --> and its working at the moment .
the only change i made : i ve moved the SONOS bridge from close to the orbi to 1meter away.
lets see how long it is working ( as described this setup was working before....)
