We haven't faced so many issues, but n8n is generally a CPU-heavy tool; sometimes, if I run so many automations on a smaller CPU, then it was going down.

What I would like for them to improve is to include more nodes and different service provider integrations, just the way Zapier does.

From my experience, n8n is stable, though the part that can be less stable is that you must stay connected to many APIs.

I have set up n8n on our local server, which is on a Contabo-based server, and sometimes it was losing connection.
