May I asked what it was that made you switch from X to wayland?
Essentially, all of the major desktop environments are making the switch or have already done so. X11 has an end date. I don't think it's worth reporting bugs in that environment anymore. I would rather test and report bugs against Wayland, and the only way to do that is to use it regularly.
I also find that it works quite well with Orca now, so there isn't really a strong reason to switch back to X.
My general approach to software is to move away from older technologies that are unlikely to be maintained, as soon as the newer alternatives are ready to satisfy my needs. I prefer to be on the leading edge of the adoption process rather than depending on old tools which don't have much community support anymore - and X is in that category.
As another example, I was relatively quick to move to systemd once it was clear that most of the popular distributions were adopting it.
I've recently been exploring Typst as a document creation tool (the markup syntax is excellent for BRLTTY users). However, for now, LaTeX is still better supported by journals and publishers, so I may not be able to use Typst for any manuscript intended to be submitted for publication. Markdown and Hugo templates are excellent for maintaining a personal Web site, and the static site generators seem to be gaining in popularity among technically well informed Linux users.
