I finally moved to full-time Wayland around the time the OP published their original post, after a couple of decades of Xorg, and a number of failed attempts. Honestly, the biggest factor affecting my experience, subjectively, was ditching my 3090 and moving to amdgpu. I don't know if the situation with Nvidia drivers is much different now (I'm told it is), but my experience of Wayland on AMD has been stellar.

When I first moved over (i3->sway) I had a few scaling issues mostly due to Electron/Chromium and xwayland fallback, but for the last 12-13 months I've been rolling on solo Wayland with no fallback, and had zero regrets. The forcing function for this was switching over to niri[0], which if you haven't tried it, is an incredible ux.
