Pixel 8 Pro Modem Issues

Not much of a post here, but I figured I share an issue I've encountered with my Google Pixel 8 Pro.

A few weeks ago, my Pixel phone started reporting "no connection" and prompting to "insert SIM card."  I first tired removing the SIM card and cleaning it with some IPA, and then doing some common "fixes", such as resetting the network settings and toggling airplane mode on and off.  I did find that rebooting the phone entirely would remedy the problem temporarily, but that it would return hours or even mere minutes later.
