Assuming:

  • everything works (just check out this thread)
  • there is Wayland alternative for every xorg tool you need, and they haven't been abandoned after a month
  • your setup isn't impossible due to DEs becoming a monolithic mess

X programs work fine under Xwayland for the most part

I was talking about xorg specific tooling. For example sxhkd doesn't work in wayland. Swhkd is the wayland alternative that should work in both, but the last release was 2 years ago, is only available through AUR, and when I compiled it, it didn't work with either Wayland or xorg.

Not tools like screenshots, screen recording - because Wayland is inherently different, you couldn't make those work in Xwayland without sacrifices.

I think Wayland is in a good enough state to be a daily driver for most (non-NVidia) users, but there's still big caveats to keep in mind that can be deal breakers.
