On a side note , It's never too late to changeWow. When I said an extensive setup, that looks like an understatement now. You basically have your own ecosystem with your own proxmox server running and managing your whole setup. And for the most part you are not relaying on any outside service. It'd take someone weeks to setup things like that today. As you mentioned yourself, an update brought down your systems for a day and half. For me, the damn updates are already breaking regular things like mobiles, computers or TVs. Maybe, yeah, windows, android are less reliable but it's too late to change the ecosystem now.
This happened with my smart bulb too. It was actually concerning as I sometimes use darkness as a cover for privacy.
I have finally given up on windows for good after almost 3 decades of using it
Also, not necessarily relevant to this thread - but that update breaking things aspect is why i shifted this ecosystem as you call it to proxmox.
If at all anything breaks in the future, reverting a VM to the last known good state is just a matter of restoring that snapshot - 5 mins at most.
Extremely useful , not just for home automation but any other services i use that server for
