Since the signal quality is quite good (most times) I was wondering if there is
a solution for picking up WGRZ reliably.

I doubt that WGRZ will ever be 100% reliable, but you might be able to improve the reception if you are willing to spend more time and money on the project.

I know there is a trial and error curve, but I am at a loss as to what to try next.

There are a few things you can try; no guarantee.

Maybe there is another antenna that would be better for me?

With a NM of -10.7 dB for WGRZ, a little more antenna gain might help.
The C4 gain is about 12.0 dBi at 587 MHz.

The DB8e is about 16.0 dBi with both panels aimed in the same direction

The 91XG is about 14.5 dBi

and the 91XG has a tilt adjustment that would allow you to tilt the front end of the antenna up to better catch the incoming signal
