X is purely worse for this case. Wayland supports live switching window scaling as they drag across monitor boundaries. X does not. The issue is that electron apps do not support Wayland yet so they run in the X compatibility layer which can not live switch. So reverting to X means you go from some of your windows not working to all of them not working.

Supposedly upstream electron has fixed this but I'm yet to see a single electron app that works. Maybe they just haven't updated electron.

Gotta say this issue sounds minor compared to not being able to set the scroll speed.

I consider it the opposite. I don't care about setting the scrolling speed - I can adapt to that. I just can't stand pixelated windows though.
