Unsupported Device - zhimi.airpurifier.vb2 - Xiaomi Air Purifier Pro H

The problem

When trying to add my Xiaomi Air Purifier Pro H (zhimi.airpurifier.vb2), I get the following error: The device model is not known, not able to set up the device using config flow. I am then prompted to choose the model manually. From what I've tried both zhimi.airpurifier.va1 and zhimi.airpurifier.mb3 configs work fine (I am testing mb3 rn but it exposes more functionality functionality), although with both configs the device suffers from intermittent connection (device has a stable, strong connection to Wi-Fi yet entities constantly go "unavailable"). However this issue also occurs with an integration from HACS called Miot Auto, not just with built-in Miio from HASS.

Additional information

There was another issue that described lack of support for this device (https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/68823) but the user wrongly closed the issue thinking the hack they found resolves it.
