setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
Output: 
No command setprop found, did you mean:
 Command getprop in package termux-tools

adb connect localhost:5555

connected to localhost:5555

It may be more stable than UI wireless debugging, but I doubt so.

After reboot:

getprop service.adb.tcp.port
sudo getprop service.adb.tcp.port
sudo start adbd
adb connect localhost:5555

Connection refused

sudo stop adbd
sudo start adbd
adb connect localhost:5555

Connection refused

is a sanity check.

sudo stop adbd
sudo setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
sudo start adbd
adb connect localhost:5555

connected to localhost:5555

I verified that adb connect is necessary.

sudo stop adbd

twice does not return anything.

So it seems to work as wanted, the question is now how stable is it, need to test to face it.

No need to experiment on wireless debugging particularly more than on Wi-Fi as I was already having issues on Wi-Fi.

For USB debugging to actually work back, have to disable and re-enable it.

It seems fine enough.
