No, I do not see that problem. When I run your command, I get

finger@localhost:~/rtw88>ip -oneline -family inet monitor link
12: wlp0s20u6i2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> \    link/ether
12: wlp0s20u6i2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> \    link/ether
12: wlp0s20u6i2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> \    link/ether

My connection is very stable; however, my device is an 8822BU, not an 8822CU.

When the connection is dropped, what is logged? You can see that with a 'sudo 
dmesg | less' command.
