If you want to move away from Sudo, but don't want to try this rust implementation just yet, I have had great success with OpenBSD's doas. It has been ported to every Linux distro I know of as well:

There's also a straight port of doas:

However unlike sudo and opendoas this does not implement the persist feature on not-OpenBSD.

Is there something wrong with sudo?

doas is great with 2 caveats (from my experience on debian): the persist feature has a sketchy implementation that didn't work; and plenty of other software assumes you use sudo and may require it as a dependency.
Regarding software support - the situation is definitely improving. I remember being pleasantly surprised that various Arch package management tools support it out of the box and I didn't even bother installing sudo on Debian.
