A little late to the party but perhaps this will help.
I find that generally z2m (zigbee2mqtt) works well for devices that have OTA availablility. I’d say that would be about 80% of my 100 Zigbee items. I do have Nous plugs and was able to seamlessly and easily update by using z2m. As you no doubt know you can’t use ZHA and z2m without a minimum of two cordinators specifically paired to one that handles ZHA and one for z2m.
Anyway, Nous A1Z does update with flawlessly with z2m.
