Sometimes they seem to go offline for a bit, especially the Kasa lights and switches.

I wouldn't use the term "forget" because one routine will turn on/off several lights, but only one random light ever fails. Thought it might be a timing thing so inserted waits, but that didn't improve reliability. I've lost track of which brand is where so can't point to a brand, and bulbs and plugs seem equally prone to glitching.
Now my landscape lighting is on an outdoor plug with bridge connection using timer, not a routine, and that has been completely glitch-free.
Edit> Oh wait - just remembered that outdoor plug and bridge are Ring devices so timer setup doesn't involve Alexa...
