Here is my old-school top of mind response:
Use links when the context is traversing to another place. Use buttons when the context is an action or process. It isn't a hard rule, but be accessible and be consistent in any use. Also, we overdid these "back to top" links eons ago--less is more now. People are more willing to scroll and have better tools to do so versus long ago. Use them only when they are really needed.
Just my quick take that they should be links, not buttons in most cases.
