Indoor trainer ANT+ Dropouts. Epix (Gen2) and Tacx Neo Gen 1

Since upgrading from Fenix 6 to Epic (Gen 2) Sapphire 51mm (SW 17.28) , I am experiencing numerous dropouts to my Tacx Neo trainer when performing an indoor ride. This occurs if I'm running a Zwift workout on PC or a suggested workout from the watch itself. There are no dropouts if I use a Garmin edge 1030 as the controller. There are no dropouts on the Zwift report.

Anyone else have this issue? I have a ticket open with Garmin, but progression is slow.
