Instead of --alternate-editor= I would consider socket activation by 
systemd user session. It ensures that emacs server process is started in 
controlled environment that does not depend on caller process.

You may try to add explicit option --display="$DISPLAY" (I am unsure 
concerning WAYLANDDISPLAY and pgtk emacs builds). Its effect is a bit 
different from standard X11 -display option and it is a reason why it is 
used in emacs .desktop files

    grep Exec /usr/share/applications/emacsclient*.desktop

However I have not tried emacs-29 and it may have new bugs.
