For the Javascript to work you have to enclose it inside $(document).ready(function () { /* all calls here */ });, because the "ul.et_mobile_menu" element is only appended to the page (by JavaScript/jQuery) after it loads (if you use the Chrome to view the page source you don't see any "ul.et_mobile_menu" element). You could also use setTimeout.

I also removed the "et_pb_menu" class reference from the CSS and JavaScript, because the Divi Theme Builder doesn't use it.

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
	
	$(document).ready(function () {
		// Create collapsible sub menus in mobile Divi Header Nav
		$( '<div class="sub-menu-toggle"></div>' ).insertBefore( '#main-header #mobile_menu.et_mobile_menu .menu-item-has-children > a' );
		// Create collapsible sub menus in mobile Divi Theme Builder Menu
		$( '<div class="sub-menu-toggle"></div>' ).insertBefore( '.et_pb_module .et_mobile_menu .menu-item-has-children > a' );


		// Toggle the class to be popped on mobile Divi Header Nav
		$( '#main-header #mobile_menu.et_mobile_menu .sub-menu-toggle' ).click(function () {
			$(this).toggleClass('popped');
		});
		// Toggle the class to be popped on mobile Divi Theme Builder Menu
		$( '.et_pb_module .et_mobile_menu .sub-menu-toggle' ).click(function () {
			$(this).toggleClass('popped');
		});
		// Replace the mobile Divi Theme Builder Menu toggle with different href other than # hash, to prevent scroll to top on sub-menu-toggle clicks
		$( '.et_pb_module a.mobile_nav[href="#"]' ).attr( 'href', '#0' );
	});
} );

Thanks for sharing your code @Garconis. I fully agree, this should be standard in a payed theme nowadays, I fail to understand why they didnt build this in right away. Anyways youve got us covered. Thanks!

I also removed this CSS code. It was not allowing the menu to scroll if it was too tall and the header was fixed:

/* remove pointer event from menu module mobile wrapper */
.et_pb_module.et_pb_menu .et_mobile_nav_menu {
	pointer-events: none;
}

/* make menu module hamburger icon and menu links interactive again */
.et_pb_module.et_pb_menu .et_mobile_nav_menu .mobile_menu_bar,
.et_pb_module.et_pb_menu .et_mobile_nav_menu .et_mobile_menu li a {
	pointer-events: auto;
}
