Tldr: No need to switch yet.

I admire the endurance of the wayland devs though.

Edit: added tldr

Unfortunately in production use Wayland feels like X.org from around 2000 (before the renaming). I was told not to worry about 'corner cases' but when small bugs pop up daily I just can't drive Wayland on my main office machine, although I'd really like to.

I've been using Wayland almost exclusively for around 2 years now and have had a way more stable and enjoyable experience than with X. Especially mixed refresh rate, VRR and scaling work way better, and the added security gives me peace of mind that sketchy / insecure apps aren't spying on me.
