I was using GNOME 3 and wayland since it came out.
But around 2 years ago there was an update of gjs that crashed GDM but was required for GNOME and GTK itself. It was kind of a paradox because gjs is used everywhere, and it crashed everything losely related to GTK4.
So there I was, unable to start any wayland session that had any GTK in it, and decided that I'm gonna retry migrating to i3.
Never regretted my decision. Now I'm using i3 or sway everywhere, depending on driver support (age) of the system.
But if you rely on conventions that a Desktop Environment offers, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to write a lot of shell scripts and bindings and config files.
