Tons of users with tons of different integrations means tons of issue. That is true I suppose.

I have a very simple Homeassistant setup with a few different zigbee lights and sensors. It has it's issues but 98% of the time it works just fine. The 2% that are frustrating are issues with zigbee connectivity but homeassistant works pretty well. I'm still not a fan of the yaml configuration but that is being worked on.

more of a hardware issue (raspberry pi) than a software issue.

I run it on an intel nuc and have no issues with SD cards.
