Intel i3 8100 & UHD 630 | macOS Monterey
I found two solutions. The first is a kext named "BlueToolFixup.kext" (https://github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM) to make the UB400 work on higher versions. The second solution is a program that makes wireless USB adapters functional even though no drivers were available from the manufacturer (https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter/releases/tag/V16).

Problems installing Mac os Monteray
Take out the AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext. Add AirportItlwm.kext (if you have Intel Wifi) and IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext. Also, make SURE you grab the correct AirportItlwm kext for your operating system (Big sur, Monterey, etc.). I'm assuming your UTBMap kext is the USB map. You might want to rename that and see if that helps as well (to USBMap or USBPorts).

Bluetooth issue with Monterey
I digged into discussions about Monterey's bluetooth support problems, which said that Apple downgraded BT support to 5.0, while some of Intel's BT adapters support only BT 5.2. But one commit of IntelBluetoothFirmware said that it added support for those cards. I switched to Windows and found the VID/PID of the bluetooth device is precisely 8087/0026, which is in the support list.
What are some alternatives?
