I keep going back to X11 for various reasons. I was close last time, but google chrome still has various problems with wayland if one has more than one window open. I know that this is a chrome bug, but it ruins the experience and for this use case I can not use Firefox.

Same. I'm slowly switching from GNOME to Sway, but I'm not going 100% until Chromium's Wayland support is better, since I spend 98% of my time in Chromium or VS Code. The good news is they are actively working on it since ChromeOS will (does?) use Wayland so they can split the Chromium browser from the Chromium that runs the OS shell.

If last time you tried using Wayland was Sway, maybe this is the issue you were running into: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2889 https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/2889 TL;DR: Drag and drop involving chromium or electron windows has been buggy. wlroots/sway has not implemented _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING, and both the fallback code inside Chrome/Chromium and the way sway has been stacking Xwayland windows have been buggy. A patch has been submitted to Chromium to fix the faulty fallback, the sway bug will be fixed, and wlroots will also support _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING, so by the time the next sway release comes out everything should be ironed out.
