So far it looks like if the OS (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) leaves the BT
controller in discoverable state, it stays discoverable even while in S3
sleep.

This is surprising to me.

bluetoothctl discoverable off seems to have helped, but I don't want to
do that every time I reboot.

This smells like a bug somewhere.  AFAIU by design the BT controller
should be discoverable (and pairable) only when you have the Bluetooth
settings page open in gnome-control-center.  And yet I run bluetootctl
and I'm greeted with

    [CHG] Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Pairable: yes

I would file a bug, but I'm not sure which package is responsible for
making the controller discoverable/pairable and not resetting it back.

Went through the setup again, just to be sure.  Nothing.
