This is my first consolidated ecosystem of smart devices and am liking it so far. Previously, I just went with the cheapest available and tried to piece meal it. It has gotten unwieldy. Hopefully the honeymoon period with Wyze isn't short-lived, but given the comments I've seen - I should lower my expectations.
I must say, I did get a dud on the Wyze Lamp Socket only 1 of 2 worked. Thankfully, it is pretty painless to return within 30 days.
Curious, if you had to pick another single provider to switch to, what company would you switch to? Nest / Blink / Ring were all too expensive for me. Or would you DIY with ONVIF / Home Assistant compatible cameras?
I had a similar issue with my FEIT flood light cameras from Costco about once a year. I ended up having to remove the device from the app, grab a ladder, and pair it again each time. It got annoying fast so I jumped on the Wyze floodlights @ $40 each (refurb).
Blink is at the bottom of my list. I tested one for a while and it is worthless.

In the 7+ years i've had my Wyze (i have wyze v1, v2, v2 pan, etc), i havent had MUCH an issue.
I will say, once a yr, maybe twice... i reboot one or two cameras (garage camera mainly, i assume FL heat).
I've had one wyze cam fail... i low key think someone in the house dropped it... (i wondered why it was on the kitchen table rather than on top of the cabinets like i mounted them) but there's no footage to prove 😂... wyze shipped a new one next day. So great CS on my end...
Again, i've owned v2's and below, no v3's+.
I just dont have a need for it, otherwise i would!
I have about 8 cameras + 2 spotlights outdoors (from the sale recently, so i can't count those).
Seriously, i dont see the big complaints about wyze aside from subscription service being a hassle. It's been pretty reliable for me, and when one of the cameras i have chooses to fail? I'll gladly upgrade to a newer camera (newer ones seem to have waaaay better night vision! My (new to me) spotlight shows night vision like its still day time! I was in shock!)
Hope this helps somewhat ease your purchase experience... I know the consensus is Wyze sucks? But maaaan, i cant complain for how long they've lasted me. I have a complaint about just almost every product too lol!
