There are users of the FP5 in areas where VoLTE is required now, including the US (though not on all carriers, as I understand it). VoLTE is enabled on an experimental basis for several devices. There are a few quirks to iron out, but it's coming!

The porting of devices is done by volunteers owning the devices and not being afraid to brick them, which leads to a pretty weird list of supported devices.
Aha! Nothing very drastic then.
How does this indicate that they are working on a new name? Like, are they leaving "Fairphone" behind?
I'm no porting expert, but to me there seems like they pick mostly well documented phones that already has a history of being worked on by other tinkerers like Lineage, Mobian, PMOS. They also tend to be cheap ish to buy used or they come from a company with a good history with open bootloaders, like the Fairphones.
