Personally I've had 14 switches in my house for the last couple years and they've been flawless. A couple ZEN71 (on/off), a couple ZEN30 (dimmer + relay double switch) and the rest ZEN72 (dimmer). Installed at least 5 ZEN71/72 at my parents. I also use some dimmer remotes and outdoor motion sensors from Zooz. Running ZWave-JS and Home Assistant with the Zooz USB 800 series controller.
I feel like I sound like a schill right now, but that's really my experience. Love Z-Wave in general and Zooz is top tier.
I've been using these Zooz switches (various series) all over my house for at least 5 years and have never had a single one fail. Maybe you have a wiring issue?
Z-Wave is still the best performing platform out there the whole "oh but you need a hub" is just BS. so what, spend $30-$80 once and get a stick or hub or whatever, and you can connect multiple devices to it.
Wi-Fi devices work OK, Matter is steaming bag of disappointment. Matter over Thread is even worse.
Zigbee works well also - but crowds the 2.4ghz space and depending on your router's channels, might interfere with your 2.4ghz network. You need to pre-plan deployment.
I'm waiting on ordering the Home Assistant "Paper towel holder" z-wave coordinator/hub. It's a beast and will allow me to reach further into my property.
Z-wave is, in my opinion, the current king of home automation protocols. That's a hill I'm willing to die on.
