I think these handshake protocols get confused sometimes when there are multiple ways to connect.

While that process may help keep the AA functionality working well, it's not a viable thing. For example, I would lose the connectivity with my Smart Watch if I were to kill off BlueTooth.
Also, I have found that relying on phone audio via USB is much more sketchy than via BT. I have had some issues, but mostly it works just fine overall. Typically, when I'm running into a problem, I find that it's related to "unsynchronized" software updates among Android, the Android Auto app, and the various apps that AA supports (including the Phone app).
