From what I understand, the specific issues are not with new hardware. They've used the same hardware in other attractions but with different operating environments. But yes, it clearly was not considered.
I had heard from Disney Dish with Jim and Len that the issue was each AA’s sensor was being tripped by different light sources and temperatures instead of the moving logs, hence why Tiana simply freezes.
From my understanding of how they explained it, the characters are supposed to simply stop moving between logs to save on wear and tear, unlike the Splash characters who would simply stay active from open to close, leading to frequent breakdowns, like the infamous Philosopher Geese who would, on occasion, simply hold their fishing polea while staring deeply into the water, questioning the meaning and mysteries of animatronic life.
We saw you, Philospher Geese. We saw you.
