As much as I agree with this article, it's not ready for everyone yet.
If you're using nVidia, everything that uses xwayland is still a flickery mess. Explicit sync patches are looking good, but those patches are not in a release of xwayland and the driver side is not yet available (but in my experience, just the xwayland support helps 99% of the problem).
KDE Plasma 5.x has a ton of bugs on Wayland that were fixed with 6.x. But 6.x hasn't filtered down to everyone yet. Plasma 6.x still has minor Wayland-specific bugs I've noticed that they're slowly cleaning up in the point releases.
Wayland only recently gained a real drag-and-drop protocol. Dragging windows, say, from a Chrome or Firefox session, doesn't work well. I've noticed Chrome beta implements the new protocol and it works great, but still unavailable.
It's almost there though. Wayland's massive performance improvement over Xorg, and its robustness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4HnwqidYFo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4HnwqidYFo) has convinced me to stay.
And it's the clear future. Most Xorg development has moved to Wayland.
