I have 3 pi’s, running piVPN, piHole and homebridge as well as 2 displays that show my website activity and statistics. They only broke one SD card in 6 years and I never tinker with them.
I haven't used homebridge in 2 years at least but that was one the least reliable pieces of software in my experience. I've seen people online talk about how it's rock solid for them and others talk about how it's flakey. I'm in the latter camp. After the 3rd or 4th time I had to re-add everything to the Home app after my "hub" went sideways I gave up and transferred the 1 plugin I maintained to someone else since I stopped using it. I even ran homebridge on docker as well as my a RaspberryPi but never had good luck.
