This is a big pain for me since DnD is really useful in my case. I tried setting up a Work Mode using DnD for my 9-5 job. After that I tried solo scheduled DnD, but in both cases I still hear and see a pop-up of my app notifications, even though I specifically turned those off.

Well, like I stated before, "Mute all sounds" is absolute. You can use that instead. It is in phone Settings > Accessibility > Hearing enhancements, bottom of second group of options. If you click on the label instead of the on/off switch, then click on the shortcuts label instead of the switch, you get options of shortcuts to assign to it, and you can have more than one shortcut. I personally think holding up & down volume buttons for 3 seconds is more logical and quickest.

If you insist on DnD, you should still check on its settings.  Since I never use it nor change it, from my current settings, it seems that DnD lets alerts and media through by default. Go to phone Settings > Notifications > Do not disturb (near the bottom). The 3 categories of "Allowed" exceptions are near the bottom.
