I find other threads of people with the same issues, but really no concrete solutions. There are so many bugs in ZHA too, like if you delete a device, it will just come back and add itself. (As long as that device is within range.) Sometimes you have to restart ZHA to get things to work. 4/many

I have to give up at this point, I have wasted so much time chasing issues to find no solutions. I moved from another hub: Hubitat. It worked great for many years with all these same devices in the same environment. Anyway TL;DR: HA + ZHA is a nightmare. I'd avoid it if you value your sanity. /END

I’ve been using Home Assistant for years but only for the singular purpose of bridging stuff to HomeKit, which is the only home automation platform that actually reliably works.

Gosh, that sounds horrible. I also use Hubitat but instead of fully migrating, I just connected it to my HA VM. The integration for HA works pretty transparently once it's configured and all devices enabled just show up!

This is my exact experiance with HA, it works half the time, which is much more frustrating than working none of the time. I honestly now only use it for a Find My - but my daughters phone just wont report location anymore for no reason.
