I have an entity type A with some required fields, and an entity type B with an optional entity reference field, referencing entity type A (using Inline entity form - Simple field formatter).
I cannot edit/create an entity of type B if the entity reference field is empty.
This is solved when using patch #24 from
https://www.drupal.org/project/inline_entity_form/issues/3099844
🐛
Required fields make an optional IEF (erroneously) required
Needs work
However, it is impossible to use Inline Entity Form 8.x-1.x-dev with that patch in combination with this module.
This section of this module is not working:
"drupal/inline_entity_form": {
"Changes are lost when collapsing a paragraphs subform including an inline_entity_form": "https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2022-09-22/47-8.diff"
}

Could not apply patch! Skipping. The error was: Cannot apply patch https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2022-09-22/47-8.diff
The last failed line comes from this module, not from my projects composer.json. There I only have apply the first 2 patches but not the failed one in my patches section:
"drupal/inline_entity_form": {
