Thanks Thorsten, will do. I'll check 7.2 first and report back
with dmesg outputs and, if needed, bisection results. This may
take a few days, as kernel builds take a while here.

Here are the relevant parts. Both kernels are NixOS builds from
nearly the same nixpkgs revision (Nov 5 vs. Nov 7), same config
generator, same hardware, card inserted during boot.
7.2.15 (works):
[ 4.127442] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=0129, bcdDevice=39.60
[ 4.142705] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtsx_usb
[ 5.580725] mmc0: new high speed SD card at address b368
[ 5.622983] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SD 1.90 GiB
7.3.3 (broken):
[ 4.128601] usb 1-9: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=0129, bcdDevice=39.60
[ 4.143802] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtsx_usb
After that, nothing card related shows up at all on 7.3.3 -- no
mmc0, no errors, no timeouts. The rest of both logs is essentially
identical. Full logs available if needed.
To sum up what I tested:
works: 6.12.116, 6.12.117, 7.2.11 - 7.2.15
broken: 6.18.62, 7.3.1, 7.3.3
Since 7.2.15 works but 6.18.62 does not, my guess is that the
culprit went into 7.3 and was then backported to 6.18.y, but never
made it to 7.2.y before it went EOL.
Next I'll check vanilla 7.2 and then bisect v7.2..v7.3 as you
suggested. Builds take a while here, so this may take some days.
