We recommend that you continue to use PulseAudio, JACK and ALSA APIs for now.
Pipewire implements those APIs.
As for ready and replacement, we are still in early days. For many use cases it is ready and with Fedora we will see whether they consider it ready soon enough and even then feedback after release of Fedora 34 will be crucial.
I dont hate pulseaudio - it was needed and a boon. But in the early days it was also misconfigured by default on Ubuntu, causing many problems. however it has raised the tide high enough that a replacement doesnt have to step on the same mines it had to. Even those who cant wait to move to Pipewire should be grateful for what Pulseaudio did and accomplished.
