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.
Give examples? Apart from RDP not being functional I don't see any reason for a simple office box.
My trouble is the Wayland Desktop session in Ubuntu LTS or openSuSE-Leap silently failing ever so often on different machines after a Wayland update. On production machines that's not something I can tolerate nor have the time to investigate, with my employees waiting.
LTS is just bad when you need up to date systems.
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.
