It might help to separate backlog refinement and sprint planning. Backlog refinement might be attended only by people working on the product concerned.

Talk about this problem in a Sprint Retrospective.

we've started tracking velocity as a whole team instead of as individuals, but I'm not sure if this will be an issue considering the team set-up

As long as it workworks, I'd keep this if you want to be a team. Tracking the velocity of single developers might not help nor making them happy.

Edit: Typos and what I want to add: This situation is not good but I understand that sometimes there is no choice and one has to find a solution :-)
