Getting motion sick with the original Vive is actually a little bit more common; there are some people who really don't respond well to lower framerates mixed with the screen door effect.
It's a bit of a generational shift, yeah, though personally I didn't have many issues beforehand. The Quest 2 can push up to 120 frames per second (90 by default), which seems to help a lot of people who got motion sick with earlier headsets.
I'd recommend giving VR another try, even if your IPD is above average, because if you're using an older headset it could just be that the framerate it's pushing is too low.
If you do try out a Quest 2, though, I would recommend replacing the default head strap, because it can cause motion sickness. It just pops off, so it's not a big deal to switch it out. A halo strap clone is the aftermarket thing to go for.
There are a lot of really great headsets to try these days if you don't want to go for a Quest 2, though! It's just that the Quest 2 is a very cheap entry set, so it's usually worth a try.
