Made the switch on EndeavourOS this morning and so far so good. I was hesitant to update to Wayland because I’m still a newb and heard there were issues, but my system is AMD based so no problems (yet).
I tried Wayland on my Nvidia gpu for a few days for the first time after upgrading to plasma 6. I’m not sure about everyone else, but my 970 did run on it, but it was worse overall than x11 for me. Windows would flicker if I’m not doing something with them for a few minutes. And frequent crashes that required plasma to be reloaded. There are much longer boot times in Wayland for me and higher ram usage as well. The same issues don’t occur in X11 on my system. I’ll personally stick to X11 until these either get ironed out as I do not have the money or the need for a newer AMD gpu.

I like it
I think most people complaining about Wayland nowadays are just Nvidia users. I don’t have any problems with it on my AMD GPU.
My biggest issue with wayland was screensharing on Discord, but plasma 6 fixed that with xwaylandvideobridge
I’ve been using Wayland as a daily driver for a few years now, and I’d say it’s ready for 98% of use cases
