One thing to do is mute the phone. When "speak notifications on lock screen" is disabled, and when the phone is musted with the mute switch, vo says nothing at all unless you touch the screen, just as you are wanting. Personally, I have my speech rate at 100% and the vast majority of my callers in my contacts anyway, so I am not overly concerned about having people hear what vo says. If it is a worry, though, you could mute your phone for now and be sure to disable speaking notifications on the lock screen. Even with the phone unmuted, all vo does is say the time when you get a call, provided that speak notifications setting is off. The only other time you would get a call is while using the device, and I presume you would already be using either headphones or a braille display anyway if you are somewhere you do not want your speech to be overheard. You said that the caller ID is spoken even when headphones are in, and I have also noticed this and will email Apple about it. I just don't think of it because I nearly always have my phone locked when a call comes in, so I tend to focus on lock screen behavior.
