Hi,
I am the author of miniloader redux (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/miniloader-redux) and I received a bug report on the forum that a miniloader 'stops working' after a while in a save where both miniloader and smart inserter are enabled.
Now, Miniloader Redux calls itself miniloader but it is actually "two inserters, one loader" in disguise. Especially, the entity that is most visible to the player is a reskinned inserter.
All of the inserters are fully managed by the mod. The user never gets to control or modify them (in fact if you open the GUI, you get the loader gui). So there is never a need for something like Smart Inserter to touch the prototypes or the configuration of the inserters.
I found no way to "blacklist" a set of inserters in the smart inserters module. Would you be open to implementing one? (And blacklisting the inserters from miniloader-redux)?
