Custom actions work as great on Switch Control as they do in VoiceOver. It makes navigation much, much, faster and you’ll be able to find all those custom actions in the Switch Control menu.

Since iOS 14, UIAccessibilityCustomAction has an initialiser that accepts an image, as well as a name and action handler. Configuring one will make your custom actions easier to spot in the Switch Control menu. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiaccessibilitycustomaction/init(name:image:actionhandler:)
Accessibility labels should not contain the type of the control, that's a job for the accessibility trait instead. If you have a button with a label like "Close button" and the ".button" trait, VoiceOver will say: "Close button, button".
