I have two Tuya mmWave sensors in my workshop; I've only had them going for a few days, but they seem to be working flawlessly; I had to use two to get full coverage, but I expected as much.
I hadn't considered these for motion sensor replacements, though. With the exception of one of my motion sensors, none are near power, and I haven't seen any microwave sensors that operate on battery power. I'm not sure how well these would work outdoors, either, but I haven't tried.
Unfortunately the PIR sensors you're using only detect active motion not presence so apart from setting a long "off" delay or a lot of movement while sitting, they won't be very useful for things like lighting. I think Innovelli and a few other companies make wall switches with mmWave so those might be an option if you don't have electrical outlets where you need them for standalone sensors.
