Perhaps have a look at Pop!OS - still not Wayland but all the good stuff of Ubuntu and none of the snaps.

No longer a question of elegance, but of practical importance anyway: Will they keep up with maintaing a Firefox package? (Or Chromium if you are so inclined?) And if they do, why could you not use the same on any Ubuntu variant after you remove snap?

They use flatpak (at least I think they do) for firefox. I just use the .deb for chrome.
