I think this thread shows it’s very hardware/driver dependent?
I’m posting from Wayland running on Plasma 5, on 100% recent gen intel hardware, and as far as I’ve been able to tell I have zero deficiencies that matter in functionality. (aside from whatever little bugs surely exist that I’m not noticing - and big things no one really has yet like HDR)
I don’t have much sympathy for the haters who think we shouldn’t be moving to Wayland ever, but every recent thread seems to confirm that Nvidia and possibly other HW configs are still likely to be problematic.
A big aspect is fractional scaling needs. I have tried the current kde 5 wayland version everytime a new minor release is done and it’s very bad with inconsistencies in many places and weird font rendering and stuff like that. I’m very eager waiting for kde 6 where many of the bugs are supposedly fixed.
I’ve got a 3.5k 13" display and have only noticed scaling issues with xwayland apps (which Plasma warns you of) - but I’m not disputing your point, there are clearly rough edges some folks see that others don’t.

Plasma may not ever implement window shading for Wayland, but I’m hopeful. That’s probably my last blocker.
