Is this expected to work with pipewire?

it won't, but not required.
just execute one of the following commands:
sh -c 'pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00 pro-audio; pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00.pro-output-0; notify-send -i audio-headphones "Sound Output:" "Astro 50 Voice"'
or
sh -c 'pactl set-card-profile alsa_card.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00 pro-audio; pactl set-default-sink alsa_output.usb-Astro_Gaming_Astro_A50-00.pro-output-1; notify-send -i audio-headphones "Sound Output:" "Astro 50 Game"'
in the latest case your headset will get the equalizer and dolby surround
