I would love to use Wayland, currently I only use it to watch movies without tearing. Anecdotally, everything feels brittle when using Wayland, applications crash... I really hope it matures.

Which video card/driver do you use? I have used Wayland for two years now without any noticeable problems. Before that, bugs in GNOME would often bring the whole graphics stack down.
(This is on amdgpu and later intel. I had a lot of problems with nouveau.)

It's some AMD Radeon with 8G so reasonably beefy. Not sure about the driver, I choose AMD for Linux graphics to not have to think about that I suppose, Nvidia used to be (still is?) a headache on Linux.

AMD was worse, the Linux driver had like half the performance of the Windows one. So if you were asking who has better Linux drivers for Linux the answer was NVIDIA (for desktops not latops)
