I would normally not use NetworkManager on a server system either, but in this case NetworkManager is installed on all the bookworm installation so in this case I choose to work with it instead of removing it.
It maybe comes with the desktop thing. With Bookworm I selected xfce only and network-manager was installed. Out of interest I put static address in /etc/network/interfaces and purged network-manager and network-manager-gnome. and seemed happy. mick
