I can relate to this. In the past, I've had smart switches and smart light bulbs everywhere, and could also control and measure power usage for many circuits/sockets in the apartment. Everything was connected to the Home Assistant. This setup worked 99,9% percent of the time, but occasionally there would be some issues, especially if WiFi or power was down, which would usually mean that devices wouldn't connect to the WiFi, or in some cases ZigBee light bulbs would go into pairing mode (I guess ensuring that I use more expensive Philips Hue bulbs everywhere might solve the latter.) At some point I just figured out that I want my light switches to work 100% of the time, regardless of the status of network or connected devices (Home Assistant NUC or ZigBee bridges), and that I don't have practical benefits from all the automation and data gathering (Grafana dashboards were nice, but didn't really improve my life in a meaningful way.)
