hyprland website is unusable on slower computers. Can't imagine that the WM itself would be any better
It's one of the faster and lightweight compositor out there, he probably know how to write c++ and not or don't care with web and javascript
I started using sway seven years ago, and even then I had very few issues. Granted I use integrated Intel graphics and I mostly just want to arrange terminal emulators, but still, on that happy path, it hasn’t been a problem.

What software did you use? I have to use Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Anydesk, and an onscreen keyboard. When I checked a couple of months ago, Anydesk wouldn't even launch. I have been dabbling with Wayland ever since it was made available on Arch Linux, but invariably have to go back to X.org after just a few hours on Wayland.

Zoom, Teams and Discord all work for me. I have used Anydesk to remote into other machines, but haven't tried sharing through it myself.
All of these, just like browsers, probably XDG Desktop Portal for capturing, so you've got to have that set up.
While I never encountered any serious issues that prevented me from using my laptop when I first started, a few things didn't work properly all the time. In the past, I used to have a few issues getting screen sharing working, sometimes I couldn't launch a steam game. Since then, the experience has gotten to the point where I really don't notice any issues. Screen sharing works fine now, I can't remember the last time I couldn't get a steam game to launch. I don't even have issues with electron apps anymore. This is all while running on an Nvidia GPU.
I know there are still issues on things like accessibility, but from someone who doesn't have the time investment into Xorg, Wayland felt pretty good a few years ago, and now I really can't find anything to personally complain about with regards to it.
