In general I am “pro” for SmartThings. But if reliability gets worse, at some point I will look for other solutions.

All important automations I have running local, so that cloud problems have little effect.

I’ll quote @ogiewon from another thread, Hubitat is certainly something to explore:

my Hubitat hub with supports local processing. During Hurricane Florence, here in Wilmington NC, my hub and the Pico remotes worked perfectly without an internet connection for 8 days.
