The key thing for me not to use it is the inability to select DRI2, DRI3 doing all sort of weird things for me in games, like flickering and freezing. I don't see this being sorted out any time soon so no Wayland for me by default any time soon.

A bit dramatic given that I do work in the terminal and everything works fine for me. Have you filed a bug for your particular use-case? These don't sound like Wayland bugs, they sound like special use-cases of the desktop manager (Gnome in this case).. Hardly enough to say "have a way to go" or "your screwed".
As for "have a way to go" and "screwed" - I've setup work environment which work perfectly under x11, switching to wayland broke it, I don't have correct path or environment variables anymore, how would you call it?

At the moment, nautilus-desktop has to force an X11 backend to draw icons on the desktop. Presumably this means a Wayland session can now draw icons on the desktop but must use Xwayland to do so.
At least for the time being, desktop icons are not supported on wayland. This may or may not change, but in the meantime we can still meet user expectations by forcing the supported backend instead...
A comment to this reads: "At least for the time being, desktop icons are not supported on wayland" but it seems to me that all it would really require would be to draw a fullscreen, no-toolbar, no-sidebar, undecorated window for any file manager whose icon container uses a transparent background.
