For Zigbee, I can recommend using the Zigbee2MQTT (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/) integration instead of HomeAssistant's built-in ZHA system. It might be a bit more complex to set up, but it's very powerful and works fantastically. (User "simon42" on YouTube has some good videos about the topic, but they're in German.)

I wonder what the exact differences are. As i'm currently using ZHA and it's running fine... (mostly using Ikea devices and a few HUE bulbs.)

... the only real advantage seems "more supported devices".
