Wayland is very much a work in progress whether that be on KDE Plasma or any other system but Compositor Handoffs are an incredible concept that will revolut...
Hell, the current Plasma and its compositor are far more stable in Wayland than Gnome. It amazes me that Wayland can actually be usable when using a desktop that is stable.
The problem is that Gnome vanilla is too vanilla, even compared to MacOS. Extensions are an absolute must for Gnome to be a functional DE. But as you said, once extensions are involved, it becomes buggy.

Gnome is pretty stable for me, unless extensions are involved, because then it’s unusably buggy.
It is almost impossible to have an usable gnome without extensions, at least for most of us.

I’ve been maining Wayland ever since the big push for fixes in kwin-wayland (what is that, like 6 or 8 months ago now?)
It’s been a little bumpy but no major complaints, and very solid otherwise. I can still play VR games, even!
