Something KDE has done seems to have resolved the issues I used to have with DPI related scaling problems in Wayland. Once Plasma 6 hit, it’s been nothing but rapid improvements with Wayland as a focus and man does it feel nice.
That said, there’s virtually no downside to still using X unless you have explicit display features you need from Wayland like HDR or the per-display scaling. Xfce is stupid lightweight and still my default for anything where battery life is a benefit.
I noticed the same thing with KDE and Wayland. Sometimes my curser still grows 10 sizes or shrinks as I pass over certain windows or between monitors but things are more consistent and predictable than they used to be.
