I used i3 for the longest time and I'd say a wayland based alternative like sway or miracle is a better choice nowadays. Even KDE Plasma recently dropped x11 support [1] so going forward, most apps will target wayland first. Migrating my i3 config to sway hardly took any effort. I was also able to get rid of a lot of xorg specific configurations from various x11 dotfiles and put them directly in the sway config (Such as Natural Scrolling) [1]: https://itsfoss.com/news/kde-plasma-to-drop-x11-support/ https://itsfoss.com/news/kde-plasma-to-drop-x11-support/.
