You might want to slip Progress() or Ringing() and/or Wait(.2)
in just before the Answer() then Dial().

Also, branch out to this flow only for the troublesome UAs,
and track each "test" branch until it works every time.

I agree. I configured just that in some AEL-based dial plan --
Always Be Conferencing (on Git Hub) -- so you can dynamically
set it up from your desk phone by dialing something like:

    1000#2000#3000

...which would then drop those three extensions into the
ConfBridge() with you as soon as they answer, using either
Dial() or Originate() to spool out calls to them (pure dial
plan, too -- no AMI/ARI, separate call files, etc.)

Works great with audio using PJSIP!
Video is on the TODO list...

Kind Regards,
