I still think you are burning time and adding unnecessary complexity in your search for an exact voltage.
See pic below from this link https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Who...le-Battery-cells-For-PAD-GPS/32734904270.html
Notice how the "Voltage =" reads. I think it's just the general nomenclature used with electronics and electrical components. To display 5V on a device is just a reference. The data sheets specify the ranges. It's like the psi rating of a tire. 5lbs over and under spec pressure actually have their advantages and disadvantages in certain conditions but the tire runs just fine within that range without affecting it's integrity. I'm sure that's oversimplifying the complexity of electronics, but is the principle not the same?
As for the 1/2 watt guys, what will you do for batteries? If the radios are drawing 500mAh on transmit, you will need quite the reserve! So a 3kmah will give you 6 hrs continuous transmit? If I remember, the radio shoots data out at a pre-programmed yet adjustable 1Hz. But I wonder what that means in terms of transmit time per hour or "duty cycle".
I found these a while ago and started researching lipo wiring:

Could be interesting to build your own batteries to fit your project as single cell lipos come in all shapes and sizes.
