I haven’t booted into an X11 environment in maybe 4 years. Wayland has been fine (Fedora + Gnome, Fedora / Arch + Niri). I think this is one of those issues where hardcore users overestimate how much anyone else cares or will notice.

One of the big problem I am/was facing with Wayland is the performance when accessing a VM with SPICE and virt-viewer. You basically had to use X11 on the host and the guest for everything to work in an optimal way. Do anybody knows if any progress have been made on this front?
SPICE is slowly being phased out by Redhat, so I'm doubtful we'll see improvements on that front any time soon.
And with X11 support gone we would have to downgrade to VNC to access our VMs?

X11 is far more stable now since they stopped improving it! I haven't had a crash in 15 years.
Hardware-accelerated x11 is buggier than software-accelerated Quartz Compositor, on my machine.

I used X when I started with Linux in my high school. When I finally stopped tolerating macOS almost a decade ago, I started with Wayland only, and never looked back. I even ditched Krita in favour of Gimp, solely because Gimp supports Wayland (from version 3, and on 2.99 before that). To this day, I don’t understand X, like at all. It’s all some super complicated pile to me. While I don’t understand Wayland either,…
Remember x11 was initially a client server model, where multiple clients could access a single x11 server. This brought a lot of complexity we don’t use these days

Wayland is buggy as hell for me. Im not particularly invested in X11 but at least it works.

Have you actually tried setting it up on Wayland yourself? Please do. I've seen too many threads like this based on a hunch and docs, while it just doesn't work. I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong.
I've used it. It works fine. You connect with RDP, get a gdm login screen, and can log in.
I was working on a carousel library a few months ago. I had made a few stress-test demos so that I could catch obvious issues while I was adding things and tweaking things. One carousel there had 16K slides. On Windows both Chrome and Firefox managed that fine. They scrolled from start to end and back without issue and you could see, I think, all the frames in my 60Hz screen. On GNOME and X11 (dual boot, so same hard…
It's likely that some hwaccel flag in about:config wasn't turned on by default. Similarly, if you want smooth touchpad scrolling, you need to set MOZ_USE_XINPUT2
I was mostly surprised by the "Gnome 50" part. Last I remembered Gnome was still version 3. Turns out they jumped from 3.38 to version 40
I think GTK is version 5, so they have to converge somewhere.
This is an old trick from SW developers to show a suppose maturity: bump the version number.
