I can absolutely deny that Wayland has stability issues. Plasma 6 under Wayland is the most stable desktop I have used.
In any Wayland discussion, I think people using Debian or older NVIDIA drivers (pre-555 for sure) need to identify themselves. They seem to be the ones most convinced that Wayland does not work yet (because they are still experiencing what it was like years ago).
As for “support”, that is desktop environment dependent as it mostly depends on protocol and XDG desktop portal maturity. KDE has the most complete support (not a bias-just a fact), then GNOME, then Hyprland and the Wlroots based environments, with MATE and Cinnamon not quite there yet, and XFCE totally trailing.
Tried wayland on arch with modern drivers on a few different DEs and everytime I eventually switched back to Xorg.
One simple example, manually configuring the resolution of a monitor with a mode that is “not compatible” with the monitor. Xorg does it pretty easily with xrandr, wayland seems to have no option for the user to do that.
