And yet, X is as flawed as it can be. There's a problem with global shortcuts, that Xorg only fires an event on keyup/key release, rather than on first match on keypress. That is a protocol limitation, and fixing it means breaking a bunch of stuff. The complains about wayland are of that nature, but at least they are fixable.
Are they fixable? One of my beefs with Wayland is that every compositor handles things differently. How GNOME's does some setting is different from how KDE's is different from Sway's. There's no guarantee they've even implemented the setting either. In X11 you can always globally configure something for any WM the same way. Wayland by design you can't. It's not fixable. I think it was a really poor decision to do a protocol and just made an OS where things are often too fragmented even more fragmented.

Eh maybe. Ultimately you can never be sure something is possible without doing it.
I'm pragmatic here, if and when Wayland offers me a better experience than X then I'll use it. I just resent distros etc. pushing me towards it when it's currently a downgrade.
