Additional info
I asked also on NextCloud forum but I got no response so I guess it might be a real bug rather than a simple misconfiguration.

Research direction
Reproduce the reminder flow from the issue using a shared personal calendar with separate read and edit permissions on Nextcloud 23.0.1 and Calendar 3.0.6. Trace how event email recipients are selected, then add coverage showing that all calendar users receive alerts regardless of edit rights.
