Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
I've been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia).
I thought it was okay for the most part but then I had to switch to an X session recently. The experience felt about the same. Out of curiosity, I played a couple of games and realized they worked much better. Steam doesn't go nuts either.
Made me think maybe people aren't actually adopting it that aggressively despite the constant coverage in the community. And that maybe I should just go back.

I don't use Wayland. I can. I've tried, but I went back to X. On Wayland, when I take a Firefox tab out of a window to make it it's own window, there's a pause of over a second until the new window appears. It drives me crazy every time. On X it's instantaneous.
I don't use two monitors, I don't use Nvidia. For everything else I use my computer for, I haven't found an advantage of using Wayland over X. So, I'll stay on X until I'm forced to change, I guess.
What distro/DE are you using? I don't have that problem nor have I heard of anyone having that problem
Manjaro/KDE/Plasma
Ah, there's your problem, manjaro is pretty much fundamentally broken.

It's just a stream of incompetent mistakes with them, if you ever do a reinstall, consider anything else, you'll have a better experience guaranteed.
