My understanding is that xwayland is an X server that runs under Wayland and the idea is that it handles X protocols but Wayland handles the video drivers and screen drawing. I have used Gnome on Wayland since late 2018. It improved a lot with the release of Bullseye. I use this setup on two machines, a laptop and a desktop that has two monitors. So far I have not had any issues with any Debian provided packages. They just work, including feh which I call from neomutt to display images. No fuss, no configuration, it just works. I've even built and locally installed GTK2 apps without issue. I did have a display issue with a proprietary third party program that was built with some older version of Qt, as I recall. That has been replaced by a version that is FOSS and it works fine. On the desktop with dual monitors I have xscreensaver running and it has the most issues with detecting events as when I do strictly keyboard work it will time out and start running a saver. Moving the mouse wakes it up. It also glitches at other times even when using the mouse, but this is not a show stopper for me. It also doesn't handle DPMS on Wayland either which I can live with (I'm sure the built in Gnome blanker works just fine). My GPUs are stock Intel on board graphics as I don't game nor do I need fancy 3D capability. This hardware is sufficient for displaying the GL screen savers and for whatever compositing requirements Gnome has.
