¡Hola, @drinktigermilk!
Unfortunately, this is the first post that I've seen around the Support Community regarding WiFi calling taking a back seat to cellular after updating to Pie. We're still working to get answers on why this is happening and what we can do to fix it. In the meantime, we're using this thread: Official Android 9.0 Pie Discussion Thread to track user-reported issues related to Pie. When we have more info, we'll be sure to post it over on the linked thread.

My wife and I just switch to T-Mobile and get the Samsung Galaxy note20 for each of us and both of our phones constantly notify us every minute or two that it switches back and forth on preferred network or Wi-Fi and it's super annoying we have to put our phones the silent in order to get any peace.
It shouldn't need to switch back and forth as in our bedroom where we spend most of our time is where my network setup is located including my Wi-Fi router and I get very poor cell phone service where I live so there should be no question on whether or not it needs to switch or stay on WiFi so I don't know why it's switching.
Unfortunately, you're likely going to miss calls and SMS while at home. The only solution I've found to this is to set your phone to Airplane mode when home, and turn on WiFi and Bluetooth manually. Of course, this is a PITA whenever I go out and forget to turn airplane mode off…
Just got another update, and still not patched. T-Mobile, fix this. DISABLE the "automatic adjustment". Let us set what works for our situation.
