If you don’t notice anything else different between x11 and Wayland in your daily workflow and have no need for what Wayland offers, then yes your problem is solved and you can ignore the implications.
For me it doesn’t really “fix” anything that I can notice. All my games and software work fine in x11, video works fine. It may be a giant convoluted beast from the 1980s, but damn if they didn’t do a good job of keeping it running well on modern machines.

That’s primarily where the issue with x11 is. It’s an unwieldy piece of software with a bunch of functionality which isn’t really used, but still has to be maintained. And there really isn’t the resources to do so.
In waylands case it is a specification, which focuses only on display, and provides modularity.
I was running endeavourOS with kde plasma 6.0 and wayland
couldn’t make discord screenshare work and had to switch (1 click in the login screen) to x11
I don’t truly understand the implications, but now my problem is solved

To this day I still prefer Xorg server. I dont want to ever switch over to wayland no matter what features it is supposed to bring.
In a similar line, I wish I could go back to SysVInit but all the major and enterprise distros are running systemd hell.
