Wayland is basically a protocol, it is the implementations where the heavy lifting is done. Some implementations seem to be working really great (Sway and the library it uses for wayland support called wlroots and possibly other mature window managers based on it), gnome wayland seems better then gnome xorg when it comes to stuff like screen tearing and other stuff seem worst. KDE is still a work in progress.
The argument of “wayland is X years old and does not work yet” is also problematic because it is used a lot in embedded (where it is mainstream and probably it’s benefits are more prominent) and attempting to port it to desktop (at least seriously) is a relatively recent endeavor.
