People say lots of things.
My gripe with wayland is how it made desktop environments less composable.
With x11 you could sort of mix and match your DE and WM. I could have all the “it just works” everyday computing from Gnome/KDE/xfce/whatever, and the workflow-boost from a Tiling WM. In some cases, making it work was a bodge but it worked.
Now, with Wayland, your WM is effectively your DE. It’s now a constant choice of “do I want tiling? Or do I want to print something, or be able to change my resolution, or to plug a USB stick and mount it without remembering the arcane incantations”.
I just want to be able to print something, and have virtual workspaces per monitor. I could live without tiling.
My current install was done using archinstall, selecting Gnome for the DE, then immediately installing hyprland once that was done. Don't forget, a DE is mostly just a collection of applications.
Unless you want to pass alt tab to another computer on Rustdesk etc.
I do that all the time on Wayland. I have three virtual displays, each with a TigerVNC client session connected to three other computers whose monitors I can see so I can pass my cursor seamlessly across six displays (across four different computers). Once I click in any of them, all key combos go into that instance, which is exactly what I want.

Wayland is superior. Yeah I said it.
