A lot of the "Wayland breaks" examples don't seem to be fairly reporting on the actual issues. The jitsi screen sharing issue, for example, has reports that it works fine for fedora, but it's just the case that (at least when the bug was being discussed, over a year ago), the integration of xda-desktop-portal into the system of some users hadn't happened yet. The fact that the Jitsi devs closed the bug as "not much we can do on our side" doesn't mean "wayland broke it and we can't fix it". The same is true of at least most of the screen recording / sharing stuff - it works differently on Wayland (for not-bad reasons), so some software is redundant, and others needed to be updated to use new APIs, and unsurprisingly the proprietary crap is the last to be updated. But ultimately, the important tasks represented (screen sharing & screen recording) do work fine under wayland. The other headings are less important, I'd say, and seem to either fall under same answer as above (for which the answer is often just to use different tools that are built for wayland), or non-terrible side effects things that are intentionally done differently, for good reasons (thinking of the "prevents GUI applications from running as root" and "breaks windows rasing/activating themselves"). That's my reading of that gist, anyway.
