Wayland is one of those things you use once and then always use. (Assuming your not on Nvidia)
Assuming:
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.
No good remote desktop's yet :(
Anydesk works. Supposedly Rustdesk does as well, though I haven't tried it.
I'll have to give them a shot, Ive used just sunshine until now but it really likes to heat up lower end devices
or you need synergy
