These are the only X things I still use (via XWayland):
~ $ xlsclients
outerheaven das-keyboard-q
outerheaven steam
~ $
Most things do Wayland natively, not requiring much hassle.
The exception tends to be Chromium or Electron based things. Depending on what release they based on, they may need arguments to encourage Wayland use.
Usually --ozone-platform-hint=wayland suffices, though I recommend research of your own. ie: the WaylandWindowDecorations feature
Games benefit from gamescope:

Screen sharing has been relegated to my browsers because they know how to work with pipewire/xdg-desktop-portal... while the misc. telecom clients lag by a decade
As for why? It feels much more polished once setup.
Mixed refresh rates work properly, for example. I have two 144Hz and one 160Hz display - logs are legible as they fly by at full speed
