So What Does 2023 Hold For Your Smart HE Home?

I'm brand new to Hubitat but I'm hopeful that my dream of integrating my older Z-Wave devices with my Apple HomeKit

See here and see how to handle non z-wave plus devices...

Are you new to home automation or Hubitat or coming from a different platform such as SmartThings, Vera, or Wink? This may help!

Just throwing this out there. It may or may not be a help and I'm sure many others will contribute to this thread. Here are a few things to start you off. Z-wave Devices: 1: You do not need Wink/ST/Vera etc. to exclude your existing z-wave devices. Hubitat can do the exclusion for you. (Make sure you turn off your old hub first!) In most cases this is sufficient before pairing. Sometimes though you may need to factory reset the device. Non Plus z-wave devices may have to be included/excluded …

Next step is to figure out how to get my Schlage Z-Wave deadbolts ready to pair with Hubitat and then hopefully there will be a way to get them responding in a way that lets me control everything through Siri.

As long as it's firmware 7.10 and above you shouldn't have an issue. Anything older is a crap shoot on the c7. As to moving them to siri, you will just need to create a couple of virtual switches.
