I mean, yeah, I'd say so. Browsers and terminal emulators are working, so that will cover 90% of the Linux userbase's needs. XWayland runs fine for non-Wayland apps and supported GPUs run smooth as butter. I have no reason to not run it on all my machines, currently.
It's not great that x11 reached the state of stagnation it did, but moving on was our only option. In hindsight, I think we'll be happy Wayland spent so long in the design phase so we didn't end up with another x11-type project.
