The ONLY reason I switched from i3 -> Sway is because I'm using monitors with different resolutions and dealing with dual monitor setups in X approaches impossible.
Sway is mostly OK but i3 and all the supporting X stuff I had was incredibly solid and all just worked together. Enter Sway/Wayland, and some things are in XWayland some things are native so they can't talk to each other, there are constant display bugs, Waybar is glitchy, screen sharing is a nightmare, fullscreen mode doesn't work for floating windows, fullscreen windows aren't transparent and show black instead of my background photo (because "security"). I just kind of hate it. I recently updated Sway and my dropdown terminal no longer focused when I opened it...I'd have to click to focus. I ended up reverting. It's probably some perfect storm of lagging support from apps, bugs in Sway, bad AMD drivers, and a protocol that's, sure, more "correct" but kind of gimps the overall experience.
If you're happy on X, stay on X. It all worked fine before my laptop died and I got a new one with a different resolution than my monitor. I will say though...multi-monitor support in Sway/Wayland, with scaling and all that, is excellent.
