What are the benefits of zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it worth migrating? (lemmy.world)

I've over 40 zigbee devices and am currently using ZHA but keep seeing people recommending using zigbee2mqtt. But I can't work out if it's worth the time re-importing all the devices or not.

What are the benefits of using zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it easy to move over if that's the best way to go?

Is there any difference in network performance, e.g. reliability of communication, or is that all down to the hardware?

There's difference in the implementation of quirks and converters. I found ZHA quirks support less than what Z2M already has, especially when dealing with manufacturers like Aqara.

Performance wise both felt similar.
