In my experience it's more nuanced. Some of my most unreliable devices are Zigbee (but they're also Aqara, and that may well be the real problem there). My Z-Wave devices have been pretty solid once configured, but they were also some of the most finicky to get paired up and on the network. My WiFi switches have been rock steady, not a single problem.

I got a Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle to use with Zigbee2MQTT and it's been bulletproof. It even managed to upgrade my finicky IKEA Zigbee devices to rock-solid firmware versions.
