Not sure where you looked for it :)

There are no QMI clients in charge of qmi-proxy, qmi-proxy tracks the
clients managed by other processes. Also, the qmi-proxy must not be
stopped if there are other processes using it. E.g. if MM is still
running, qmi-proxy must never exit, until MM is stopped.

Also, can you confirm you're not running qmicli commands in addition
to MM managing the modem?

Not possible without looking at debug logs of both MM and qmi-proxy
while the issue is happening :) I think it's better if you gather
those logs, find exactly where the issue is happening in the log, and
post them for review to a new Issue in gitlab.
