These are all good suggestions and for sure some set of them will tend to work. The slightly annoying thing I found in my brief tests is that the failures were not consistent across various combinations.
Even changing a destination from port 6 to port 12 changed the amount of info that got dropped each time.
So it is likely you can do some tweaking to get it all to work, but as soon as something changes, it could break again. For me, I tend to treat all the 'infrastructure' gear as appliances like a toaster or microwave. Set them up, use them, and they just work. When I'm questioning multiple pieces of gear in a path to determine the root cause of an issue it becomes super annoying.
There's been more than one occasion that I regretted selling my Sycologic M16 (16x32 config). Sure no merging or filtering, but it always 'just worked' sending MIDI data around my system.
