> I've found HomeAssistant with Zigbee to be extremely reliable, but the idea that a botched software upgrade or failed VM could make it so I can't turn my lights on and off feels like a bit too much.
That is really an implementation problem of your smarthome. Where we used to have unobtrusive javascript, enriching the web page as it got applied - you also can have unobtrusive smart switches: There are units which get built into the wall, yet allow for Zigbee connection: you both get to run the light in a smart and in a manual way. Many smart sockets also have buttons on them to allow a manual override.
