I remember this Gerry and Romani did a great write up thou he did go a bit deep with homing to Magnetic poles of Steppers.. .Lol

There are 2 things I don't like about these switches. Magnetic pick up and 5V.

Magnetic is Ok for wood machine etc but not milling machines or near metal for obvious reasons.
Don't like 5v has it's susceptible to picking up electrical noise.

Inductive proximity switches are cheap these days and work just has good I've found and can be run thru the same 24V control system used for Limits etc.
