We've found it easier to delete the old/lost phone from the user's Duo account instead of doing a temp disable. It seems cleaner and doesn't bypass MFA (other than Duo's). If the Duo account doesn't have any devices, then the user logs in with credentials and gets to register a new device, problem solved and no temp bypasses to undo.

We also have a process in place to allow the help desk to temporarily disable MFA for people who are in the process of replacing a lost/broken phone, but I assume you are looking for ongoing/long-term exceptions.
