If you're on NVIDIA or KDE, you may have been thinking that this Wayland thing is just not working. For those of us running Intel on GNOME, it has been a smooth ride for a long time now. So, we just have vastly different experiences.
I have been using KDE on an AMD RX 6600 XT for about 1.5 years and it is a very smooth experience. I don't notice a difference between X11 or Wayland. It's that I know I selected a Wayland session for KDE.
