RPI0-3 models all have issues with power.

Especially on the original RPI1 and RPI0 variants you shouldn't
consider USB as being "hot pluggable". For the other models
hot-plugging low power USB devices (i.e. using 100mA or less)
should be fine. Unfortunately that might rule out things like
many gaming keyboards and also some WLAN dongles.
