I have the opposite experience, as I'm still using i3wm to cope with the lack of composable tools in the wayland ecosystem. Sway doesn't provide all functionality I need by itself - and when it does it's really barebones. For example, I haven't found a way to configure lid actions, inactivity timeouts, brightness and different profiles depending on whether my laptop is plugged in or not, battery notifications and etc like xfce4-power-manager does.
Whenever I try sway, I run into various issues of a similar caliber, where I'm left on my own to implement everything instead of using existing tools.

Fair enough, I had to configure the things I wanted "manually" (e.g. lid, inactivity timeout, brightness, ...) but then I was happy with the flexibility and control.
For what it's worth (since we're giving subjective feedbacks), I daily-drive Wayland, with Sway. For me it's better than X11 with i3wm.
