I've been using Helix as the send protocol ever since it got added, and didn't notice more bugs. The main advantage over IRC is that users get better feedback on dropped messages (although it often returns some generic reason).
Sometimes, Twitch returns 500 with an empty message. Now, every time Twitch returns an empty message, we assume an internal server error.
In the future, we could disable the write-connection if the settings allow it.
