I'm not familiar with those other systems but here's a quick update on my Robofocus.

Basically it ran flawlessly for about a year with FocusMax then one night it started clicking and slipping. Strangely though it still works completely fine when just making manual adjustments with the RF software or using the hand controller. As I only have to refocus once or twice a night I really haven't spent much time trying to work out why it's not playing nicely with FocusMax and I just focus with a bahtinov mask.

TLDR: It still works well but not with FocusMax.
