Oh, come on. Wayland is shipped by default by a lot of distros now because it's perfectly stable and usable in the vast majority of use cases and hardware. For every story about wayland falling down, I can come up with a dozen "stupid shit X11 does now because it's unmaintained and dev X tries to do something new with his app" stories. I do silly things like run 6 monitors on 2 GPUs on a Core 2Duo, and it runs like a top. If there's a problem, it's always something dumb i've done like knocked a cable than it is that Wayland has shit the bed. And it's been working like that for 2 years.
I ran a Pinephone for a year as a DD back in the early days, it was a pain in the ass but it was possible if you were stubborn enough. But it was no Android. But then again, it wasn't Android.
Spoke on it at the top reply
I daily drive mine and it's not good, but I prefer that than running spyware.
