Tldr: No need to switch yet.
I admire the endurance of the wayland devs though.

If you’re using KDE, the improvement will be amazing.
Would never switch back
I do. What’s the difference?
It is so much smoother in literally everything, even on insanely powerful hardware.
Smoother? Can you give a specific example?
Try dragging windows on x, then try on wayland. It’s a very clear difference.
Unfortunately in production use Wayland feels like X.org from around 2000 (before the renaming). I was told not to worry about ‘corner cases’ but when small bugs pop up daily I just can’t drive Wayland on my main office machine, although I’d really like to.
Give examples? Apart from RDP not being functional I don’t see any reason for a simple office box.
My trouble is the Wayland Desktop session in Ubuntu LTS or openSuSE-Leap silently failing ever so often on different machines after a Wayland update. On production machines that’s not something I can tolerate nor have the time to investigate, with my employees waiting.
LTS is just bad when you need up to date systems.
