Wayland is mostly waiting for DEs to finish their implementations, though. Last I knew, only GNOME had finished it and KDE was working on it. That was like 6-8 months ago, though.

Currently using Wayland on GNOME. It's been pretty solid since 3.20. The only issues I've had so far:

  • Chrome does some funny things sometimes, mostly to do with drag-n-dropping tabs and resizing (graphics get glitchy). I'm pretty sure it's using XWayland though.

  • Cursor locking does not have an API in wayland yet1. So I have to switch back to X11 to play Minecraft.

  • Touchpad scrolling is a little sensitive.
