I posted this thread a couple months ago about my Aqara temperature sensors constantly dropping out - https://old.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1jvrhww/aqara_temp_sensors_luck_of_the_draw_constantly/
Since then I tried other temp sensors - generic Tuya and recently Sonoff ones. Both would also cut out at seemingly random for no reason. I thought it was weird that I didn't have this problem with any other sensors all from various brands (Philips, Ikea, Sonoff).
I was pretty annoyed cause temp/humidity tracking is something I really wanted, so I decided last week to try out Z2M since I saw reports from people that they had more success with it, and it might even provide insights into why they were dropping.
Knock on wood but it's been a week now and everything is still online, whereas before those sensors were dropping within a day or two. Also it now shows firmware updates and battery percentages, which I didn't get before.
So yeah if you are experiencing issues like this with ZHA, I'd suggest giving Z2M a go, it really isn't that complex to set up
