I've been out of the X vs Wayland discussion for ages, but have been on Gnome / Wayland on my work laptop for the last 2 years and wouldn't say that this use case is perfect or even great (though... it gets the job done). Guess your comment means it's even worse on X.
My work laptop is 4k 13" while my second monitor is 1440p 27". I had to enable some gnome custom scaling flag to unlock fractional custom scaling (as you probably also had to do) - not because I want to run my laptop at e.g. 175%, but because setting the laptop scaling to 200% without fractional scaling turned on would mess up all scaling on the external display too (many elements also 200% etc).
So with fractional scaling on, laptop at 200% scaling and external monitor at default 100% everything does work mostly right... except for all the programs that didn't get the memo and seem to scale properly but show up all blurred. I know it's a big Electron issue (so affects Slack, Chrome and VSCode... my 3 most-used programs) - unsure if it's a problem with other stuff.
But all in all has been kind of annoying.
I know they are working on fixes from the Electron angle but last I checked none of it was very stable.
