Not for me
Source?
Received a number of commits just last week: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg
VRR is supported, at least on AMD: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate
For HDR you have a point, afaik.
And yet X11 works rock solid for me, while Wayland still crashes whenever I so much as look at it wrong. The amount of time and work I've lost because of Wayland crapping out on me isn't even funny anymore. On AMD by the way, so no blaming Nvidia's crappy Linux support.
Wayland will probably be the better product one day, but this day is not that day, at least not for every use-case. Great that it works fantastically for you, I genuinely advise you to keep using it, but keep in mind that 'mileage may vary' from person to person. Personally for now I'll stick to X11, as I need to get work done and unfortunately don't have time to muck around with Wayland's antics.
X11 is insecure. Any program can read any keystroke, any windows contents, can input anything anywhere etc.
The concept of separate apps basically doesnt exist.
Those security features are misleading.
A second app can already read all of your files, modify the first app, modify $PATH to replace your display server and do anything it wants as your user. Running wayland instead of Xorg provides no tangible benefits in security.
Yes and wayland is a puzzle piece of fixing that.
The other one is containerized apps that use a trusted system portal to get opt-in filesystem access to actually needed directories.
