Also, I still haven't found a clipboard manager that works normally on Wayland.

And I rarely get it to recognize all my monitors first try. And it crashes semi-regularly.

Not sure how much is inherent to Wayland vs Gnome, but life is way better since I upgraded to Xlibre & Cinnamon.

The Bluetooth integration needs work - missing features such as "never connect automatically."

Default lock screen experience still has a needless delay of 5 seconds when entering a wrong (even blank wrong) password, even on the first attempt.

+1 on the gamma controls

KDE on wayland doesn't let me roll up windows. I've been doing that for nearly 3 decades.

Pointer warp not generally supported so CAD programs fail in bizarre ways.

Although I think that there is FINALLY an actual spec for pointer warp. However, very few compositors support it.
