I’ve only used Ubertooth [0] to sniff BLE. I was not very impressed with its ability to follow connections (it would frequently miss the connection exchange due to channel hopping).
Can using multiple micro:bits at once with BTLEJack increase the success rate?
Most BLE diagnostic equipment that guarantees capture of all traffic costs over $10k.
Same here. We've been using Ubertooth One and it was not a pleasant experience. Certainly cheap and easy to set up, but with very mixed results. Not only does it miss connections due to the channel hopping, it also frequently loses connections, which is even more frustrating.
We've had the privilege to know someone with a professional wide-band solution (Ellisys Bluetooth Explorer), and it was miles ahead, including the analysis software.

I've used a professional wideband BLE analyser before (I can't remember which one unfortunately) and while it was a few thousand pounds, I don't think it cost as much as $10k.
Also I've used Nordic's sniffer program before and it worked well and is free (plus a very small amount for the hardware). Windows only though.
