You can take screenshots and use secondary monitors on sway, I use four displays at home, including one rotated 90 degrees and one 4K display, to make sure I test each use-case before anything breaks for end-users. The performance of the novueau driver is adequate for most non-gaming workstations.

> You can take screenshots

can you, with any app that takes screenshots ? e.g. with SimpleScreenRecorder or flameshot ?

No, they will require patches to support Wayland. But we have created portable protocols which will allow you to take screenshots on 10+ Wayland compositors and are on track for standardization. Third-party screenshot clients already exist, like grim:
