RTL8723BE and RTL8723BU are supported by rtlwifi and rtl8xxxu respectively.
Though it isn't so good to maintain three interfaces in tree drivers, I'd
keep them as was, unless people can take time to verify them, especially
BT-coexistence.

Can you share the link or GitHub?

Can you additionally test BT-coexistence? Download or navigate web page
while a Bluetooth is playing music to see if it plays music smoothly?

I did additional sparse/smatch tests which both are fine. Once you send
new version, run them again.
