Depends, with SHS you’re “on your own” more or less, but this community can help most people out.
Pi is most probably way quicker/snappier when managing Homey. And 4GB of RAM provides for muuuch more room for apps to install.
Another advantage: it’s possible to run it locally when a lifetime license is purchased.
IF the Aqara’s can be paired with Hue/Tradfri, then Yes.
(zigbee is not universal, as in every brand will connect to / will function flawless with an other brand’s controller)
When not:
Instead of the Homey bridge, I’d buy a €25 Sonoff zigbee USB dongle, and install zigbee2mqtt on the Pi
Pair the Aqaras with zigbee2mqtt, and add those to SHS per zigbee2mqtt community app
Homey Bridge is not the best zigbee hardware out there, plus it only communicates per WiFi with SHS.
