X was really bad for me and Wayland has been very reliable. Good enough for my work. Your posts are very political stuff too. If you want to be strictly technical just skip all the meta/drama and the boogeyman talk. In the post and in the comment section. It doesn't put you in a good light even if your statements turn out to be true. Your projects look very interesting. A suggestion for your next blog post would be talk about what you want to achieve, your real intentions, and how you plan to do that. If it's just a showcase make that clear. It's unfortunate that you don't want to work with what they have now but I hope you can find a compromise. It would be great if your contributions could make Wayland even better.

"Good enough for your work" until issues like the one mentioned appears; You plug in a kvm, close the lid or something at the wrong time, come back and see your work gone. You then blame the client, the gpu or hardware, then the toolkit, then the compositor and everyone says "can't reproduce" because the infrastructure guys went EWONTFIX because 'difficult'. It is a design blog, it is inherently political. There's a high number of tech posts on the main site. The roadmap, the intentions, everything has been spelled out, and visible for half a decade.
