Since iOS 16, the alarm of the Clock app is not working properly on my iPhone. It either won't sound at all, or won't sound again after a snooze. I can see in the alarm notification that the snooze 9-minute timer only starts counting down after I pick up the phone (turning on the screen). It's taking so long for this to be fixed that I'm starting to think that something is wrong with my device, not the OS.

You might want to do this iOS settings => Sounds and Haptics => Drag the Ringtone and Alert Volume slider up higher and turn off change with buttons The alarm clock volume on iOS is separate from your normal volume. So if it accidentally got lowered then your alarm clock will never make any sound. It can get accidentally lowered if you have change with buttons on so I turn that off. Turning off change with buttons just fixes your alarm and ringer volume, it won’t prevent you from changing your volume normally when listening to music

that should work, as I have no issue with alarms. Have you uninstalled the clock app and reinstalled?

I've had alarm issues as well recently, and I think in my case it may have something to do with either (1) "Attention Aware Features" that will silence alarms if it thinks you're using / looking at the phone, or (2) wearing my watch and having it think that I was silencing alarms by covering or touching the screen. I turned off the attention aware features and also flipped off "Push Alerts from iPhone" for the Clock app on my watch. My distrust at this point is so bad that I just don't wear the watch to sleep even though I love the sleep tracking features. It's ridiculous that a bug with alarms is even a thing, and also something that's hard to troubleshoot when I'm half-awake.
