Everything you listed works on Wayland.
Grim for screenshots, slurp for selection (similar to maim). wl-clipboard works like xclip with its wl-copy and wl-paste commands, I use it extensively in scripts. There is ydotool (not to be confused with xdotool) for kb/m automation. Highlight + middle click paste also works as expected and I use that many times a day. Primary selection is also available to wl-clipboard with a -p arg for both copy and paste.

It's insane to me how much misinformation is spread about Wayland by people who just don't even try it. I guess people want to hate it.

I suspect it didn't work at one point and then people ditched it and have that as their memory. I tried to switch to sway, a bunch of stuff didn't work like I expected and I just switched back to i3, this was probably 3-4 years ago at this point. I assume it's probably gotten better, so I don't go around commenting. But I fully believe people did try it and it didn't work for them (at some point) and they just ditched it.
