Left my MY26 for two months and...

... absolutely nothing happened. Fired right up.

Car was plugged into a wallbox via the normal charge port, nothing else was done.

I’m currently doing that with my MY21 right now since I’ll be away for 4-5 weeks. Left the SoC at 45% and plugged in. No timers obviously.

I am a frequent international traveler I often travel for over a month. Before I leave the country I always set a timer at 50% SOC with pre-climate early in the morning (the ambient temp is low at that time so 1hr of pre-climate doesnt waste too much power) so that the 12V battery would get charged. Never had an issue.

That's not needed.

Are you saying leaving the car plugged in is enough to keep the 12V battery charged?

Of course it is. It always has been on those cars that don't have 12V battery issues.
As I said, I literally just left my car for 2 months in my garage plugged in. Didn't access it remotely and it had zero timers.

Even if you don't plug it in, it'll still charge the 12V battery.
My PR is 4 weeks so it'll probably survive 8 weeks as well.
I never ever had any issues with my 12V battery in more than 6 years.
Had several timers active and I watched the app a few times, no problem whatsoever.

PS: I now don't even have to check the app.
