I'm still using X.org, for one reason: I like XFCE, and that's not
Wayland-ready yet.

I'll switch to Wayland when feasible; X definitely has issues. For example,
I like having multiple monitors - but X.org can't handle variable refresh
rates well on more than one monitor. In fact, if you have a VRR monitor and
a fixed-rate one, your VRR monitor will only run as a fixed-rate monitor.
Plus, fractional scaling is hacked into X.org, and doesn't work all that
great (especially with multiple monitors).
