Fair enough. I think it's a bit unfair to label the collective failure of the Linux community/ecosystem to actually make change happen as "Wayland has problems". But it's true that in 2020 you will still lose use cases when using anything Wayland based.
Wayland will never replace the X11 based workflows you describe though, because it isn't X11. Although X11 has a lot of fundamental problems, flexibility isn't one. And some flexibility you will have to give up moving to any Wayland based desktop.
