Wife picked up her new Optiq yesterday. Even though Bluetooth settings from phone are set to 'show message notifications', text messages still do not appear via the Infotainment system. I drive a refreshed 2022 Silverado with essentially the same infotainment and when I turn off CarPlay, well wouldn't ya know, no text notifications from their either. Anyone experiencing the same issue or found a way to resolve?

This probably doesn't help, but I've had my Optiq for almost a week and got my first text message while driving today. It displayed on the infotainment screen, so it works for me. But I think it dismissed itself rather quickly. It was gone before I had a chance to read the message and decide what to do.
Seems like I remember something deep in the settings about whether or not to allow personal information to be displayed. So maybe that setting could be preventing text message notifications.

Text notifications are working for me too, including having Google Assistant read them and send replies I dictate.
The phone is not a trusted device. We're not using profiles, part of the need for a trusted device as I understand it. I initially paired the phone (Android) and received texts but Google Assistant would not read them saying something about not having permission. I think I had to change a notification setting to allow it. (I do not use Google Assistant on the phone. It's not even installed. So it's the Optiq Google Assistant that is functioning.)
Have you tried forgetting the phone in both the car and the car in the phone and starting over again?

Glad to hear it's working for iPhones too. That is key for you since there is no Apple Car Play. All of the reviews I've seen indicate that people aren't really missing car play because of the broad functionality of Android Built In (Android Automotive) and the Play Store apps that replicate Car Play functionality.
