X11 works as well as it ever did, but it's so stagnated that that doesn't mean a whole lot. I run new hardware, and I tried X. It's bad. HDR? No. Fractional scaling? Looks awful. Splitting, tearing, and artifacts? Believe it or not, still a problem on X.

There's a film of jankiness that permeates X that I just don't get on Wayland. Animations don't drop frames. Things happen when they should. My text actually looks crisp. On Linux!

I dunno, I'd say it goes both ways. I'm still on X because last time I tried Wayland still had weird janky corners that I kept hitting. Granted, yes, X also has problems, so I'm stuck in an awkward intermediate spot.
