Is there any issue with switching frequently between Wayland and X11? (self.kde)

I can't imagine there is but I'm wondering if I am missing something. I use GeForce Now and unfortunately it does not work in Plasma Wayland (issues with input redirection). Is there any problem with logging into an X11 session whenever I want to use that but using Wayland generally?

I had issues with Freesync, if I opened an X11 session at launch then it worked with only one screen connected, but it was reliable and didn't need any further tinkering.

If I launched Wayland first and then switched to X11, my screen's refresh rate would get locked on a random value. I'd have to either cycle compositing on/off, or enable the TearFree flag in xrandr.

In the end Wayland gaming got improved on Plasma 6 so I no longer use X11
