I'm hoping Wayland does indeed solve the problems X has. Unfortunately, it's not just one problem but a series of them spread over multiple machines from various vendors. This latest one I think is probably not the graphics driver as it did work fine for a couple of weeks but the trackpad driver. I think I might give Fedora 25 a shot and see if there's a difference. Without a doubt, however, Linux based OS's have come a very long way even in just the last 5 years, let alone the last 20. Mint KDE for example, works almost out of the box for me on my 2013 MbPro w/ external 4k monitor (except internal trackpad / Magic Trackpad 2). I suspect I'll be able to remove that "almost" in the next year or two if not sooner and once messing with X config is no longer required, hopefully X (or Wayland) will be stable.
