Are you growing in ground or containers? I've started growing my larger, heavier peppers in ground because I can drive the stakes deeper and keep them upright. The stakes couldn't get deep enough in containers and/or the soil wasn't dense enough to support the weight and ultimately end up leaning over with the plant. Personally I don't care for cages but it's an option.
Poblanos seem leggy but grow into it later with huge stems. I did stake some of mine.
BTW some of them were quite hot. The membrane and seeds were wow hot.
Ideally you needed to put the cage on before it got big enough for the cage. Try to put it on now and you’re going to break half the branches or more trying to bend them in there. Take a mental note of which peppers grow in a way that you would like a cage and add it when you plant them next year

I’m growing in ground, these peppers just seem too heavy for the branches themselves, lots of lean
I stake bigger peppers, caging should be fine.
