As my dad always said - locks are for honest people
Personally I see any security system as:
A) Deterrent - hopefully they'll pick another house
B) Notification - In the event they don't at least I know it happened and I can send someone over to board it up if I'm not in the area.

Of course, they'd have to be in range of the Z-Wave network and would have to have a packet sniffing tool to monitor the transmissions and they'd have to have a high level of Z-Wave knowledge to pull it all off. So basically, it was a completely implausible reality. Crowbars are cheaper, quicker and they don't require any tech knowledge.

Yeah my UPS sends me an email alert anytime there's anything wrong with the power or the battery ...
I really should get a fallback cellular modem though.

And why wouldn’t there be battery and cellular backup to the security system?
What would probably happen is a security update would cause a blue screen from the high current flow when the battery kicks in.

Preachin’ To the choir
Sophisticated burglaries of homes (not smash and grab) are vanishingly small as a portion of the whole. The biggest deterrents to burglary are obvious cameras and obvious security systems.
