I have set this to headphones and car and also tried it with the setting to headphones only. It reflects the same setting under Phone and Siri and the Facetime setting for this. However, VoiceOver still announces the caller name when not connected to Headphone OR Car. Is this setting broken?
P.S. This issue is as old as with IOS 18 it's just getting on my nerves now as my whole office knows who is calling me and since I have kept really funny names for people like White ass and sugar bums this is really embarrassing

not really broken
This feature is for Siri telling you who calls, not Voiceover. And yes, this is only working when Voiceover is off. To stop Voiceover announcing your calls there is as far as I know no way to stop this.
Mute the ringer
I believe muting the ringer will stop VO from announcing incoming calls.
Yes, you can mute the ringer
Yes, muting the ringer will stop VoiceOver from announcing calls. Hope that helps you.
Mute VoiceOver
If you still want to hear the phone ring, you could use a voiceover gesture to mute voiceover. I use a three finger triple tap to mute voiceover if a call comes in, you only hear the ringer not who is calling then I just use the magic tap gesture to answer like normal.
