The biggest issue with Pipewire IMHO is that it does not support Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. That will be a big obstacle to growth until 18.04 is no longer supported, which is still about two years away. I don't know what's involved in doing a backport, but I for one would use Pipewire if it was working on 18.04.
