It's suitable for most stuff but I don't think I'd recommend anything in JC area if I had a serious need for interventional care. My dad was in rough shape and was at both hospitals at some point before he passed last year, but I felt JCMC was 100x better from my perspective and my dad seemed to be in good hands (he was just too sick to come back from his overall situation)... I know people who work there as well, but that's besides the point.

I would still recommend Hackensack based on having a lot of in-law family who are up in years and most of them have been trying to go there whenever they need a procedure or such. I realize that even "great" hospitals can fail in certain areas or for certain complicated things... I have a close friend with a rare genetic condition and Columbia and NYU Langone both failed her terribly and she's back down at Hopkins for her care now. It's possible the care she got in NYC actually contributed to how much surgery she needs now. So I 100% understand the concerns you have and why you are asking for more recent validation.

You are welcome to DM if you have any specific concerns and I can try to offer more specific information...
