The FAs will make certain to drill this one in, but in the event that you deplane during the layover, take ALL your belongings. Things happen and AA could suddenly change your gate and not leave you time to recollect your belongings and proceed to new gate and aircraft.

Safe travels.
I would agree that MIA seems to have more a/c change than other hubs. Quite often I hear FAs telling continuing paxs there will be a gate and a/c change.
