I've mostly settled into using HA for basic home automation and backing away from lots of or complex automation. There's a certain amount of time I can spend and anything beyond that feels like a job that isn't adding much marginal value at home.
One small tweak that helped with dead/unavailable devices. I set up a simple daily automation that pings all of the Z-Wave switches throughout my house. Was having lots of problems with one or two occasionally looking dead but the once-per-day ping helps.
