Must admit my instinct (so far) has been to stick with Philips for bulbs and z-wave for switches and motion - made a bit easier by the more recent white only bulbs
I have a few Hue motion detectors but as z-wave gives you a lot more control and data in my opinion - thats my "go to" solution
hope that helps

Am I being overly conservative?

I think they've realized the appeal of their hub being usable with many other kinds of bulbs. Hue has the high end of the market and their bulbs are VERY nice. People who buy cheaper bulbs to fill out a Hue starter kit will notice the quality difference and over time, buy more Hue stuff.
But more to the point, we at least have one firm data point that they realized their mistake once, and fixed it.
