Also, can you use xdotool for key input redirection or screen capture programs and stuff yet?
Not sure what you're talking about. Haven't noticed any adverse negative effects.
It's super nice to have a desktop without any tearing though.

I don't do PC-gaming.

Not sure what xdotool is.
I'm using sway[1] with libinput. I haven't had a need to use external tools beyond what they support natively.

I have no issues to do screenshots ad-hoc (in fact, I have keybindings to do this, and throw it right in the wayland clipboard).
I do notice that most Xwayland-based programs which tries to do screen-sharing fails spectacularly though.
I use Wayland daily and have for a few years. It’s clearly gotten better, and I rarely encounter problems. I do have my load of applications still running in XWayland though.
But yes. Support for varying DPI in my multi-monitor setup is handled much better on Wayland than on X11. I would say much better than on Windows too.
