Printed components keep falling off supports mid-print?

I've been using a Prusa Mini+ happily for several months now. However I noticed that for certain types of curvy prints that are nearly 100% on supports, small pieces start to fall off and damage/ruin the 3D prints.

Here's my latest example of this failure, with arrows pointing to where the fallen parts should be:

I'm using a .25 nozzle with the Prusa factory settings in PrusaSlicer. What can I do to help prevent this from happening? Should I...

A) Increase nozzle temperature

B) Pull back Z-axis calibration so there's less contact between print and nozzle

C) Decrease print speed

D) Something else?

In my opinion D) something else

try experimenting with the Support section in PrusaSlicer.
Modify the Z contact distance and try changing the pattern angle (like 45°) and interface loops.

I'm not an expert. Ma parlo anche italiano 😉
