Migrating lights from Zwave to Lutron Caseta

Configuration Z-Wave

I’ve bitten the bullet to replace 43 HomeSeer WD-100+ dimmers with Lutron Caseta dimmers. I’m doing this because the reliability and stability of ZWave, particularly for lights, has become a challenge. I just need something that works.

Am I being stupid? It “feels” like a backwards step but from everything I’ve read it seems it’s common and that the Lutron gets much better reliabilty.

I will be keeping ZWave for my PIR’s and locks as both of those are reliable over Zwave.

I will be going with the “Pro” bridge so I can ensure local connections.

Are the dimmers you are using ZWave plus? I have had also had reliability issues with non ZWave plus products or maybe it is just a specific brand, I never fully tested. I was able to get a reliable network by switching to the following light switches (First time purchase, they give you 10% off (as of 10/22/2018)):
