For me the only issue is that I don't want to rewrite all my Awesome widgets. KDE has really nice widgets but it still doesn't have independent virtual desktop per monitor so for me it's completely incompatible with my workflow. Looks like waybar is most popular but I'm not going to write widgets in C++. AGS looks like it would do what I need but I'm not sure if anyone is actually using it. I could try it but I have 0 issues with Awesome WM so what would be the point of spending months moving everything to Wayland? I will probably do it one day but it simply doesn't offer me anything right now.

If your app doesn't work on Wayland it's just bad or abandoned at this point.
