I was talking about xorg specific tooling. For example sxhkd doesn’t work in wayland. Swhkd is the wayland alternative that should work in both, but the last release was 2 years ago, is only available through AUR, and when I compiled it, it didn’t work with either Wayland or xorg.
Not tools like screenshots, screen recording - because Wayland is inherently different, you couldn’t make those work in Xwayland without sacrifices.
I think Wayland is in a good enough state to be a daily driver for most (non-NVidia) users, but there’s still big caveats to keep in mind that can be deal breakers.
Wayland is one of those things you use once and then always use. (Assuming your not on Nvidia)
Assuming:
X programs work fine under Xwayland for the most part

No good remote desktop’s yet :(
Anydesk works. Supposedly Rustdesk does as well, though I haven’t tried it.
I’ll have to give them a shot, Ive used just sunshine until now but it really likes to heat up lower end devices
or you need synergy
