The main issue was the piston steppers at the front of the module: Brick built, poorly. They would catch on other bricks, and then gears would jump and become desynchronized. My solution: Do a "full technic" rebuild of the module, removing 90% of the system brick leaving only the transition ramps and input bin tiling.
The results are a sturdier, more reliable module. I replaced the "piston steps" with smaller tipping ramps. I've also added a phase adjustment knob, that allows for tuning the ramps to pass balls without any hiccups.
