Probably best to start a new thread to discuss Ubiquiti UniFi networking...

Is there an easy way to query to see which of my devices (if any) are pre-plus?
Look at the device inClusters. If it lacks 0x5E, it is definitely not zwave+.

From the security standpoint, if someone wants to tamper your system, it's more likely they will have a WIFI swept jammer (which is easily accessible from Ali) than a Z-Wave jammer (an old GSM jammer will do).
It is to...o bad that Power Line Communication is entirely forgotten.
Yes, X10 was very terrible. But X10 used very simple ON-OFF Key modulation.
Noise tolerance was down to zero.
Than Insteon came out. It used FSK (Frequency Shift Key, similar to FM Radio)
modulation which is far more noise tolerant. Eventually Insteon add RF Communication
for Wireless Sensors and bridging phases. I was using Insteon for 20+ years
in my house and did not have any communication related problems at all.
Unfortunately these days Insteon is somewhat dead and devices are very expensive.
Being EE, I would say, Power Line Communication for the HA could be the most reliable.
Unfortunately this is not a case and technology somewhat forgotten.
Thank heavens - it pollutes the radio spectrum as is and is on a poor frequency choice connected to a huge aerial. It should never have been permitted. If it was more successful it would be even worse.

Well, each technology has its own pross and cons. Is not it?
Of course, everything must be done right.
Unfortunately this is not a case if you are pionering something.
