I second sway! I have switched full-time from i3 sometime last year and haven't looked back. In my experience it's even more performant than i3 wayland has largely been a boon, except some odd programs that don't work even under x wayland (currently that's obs and meet.jit.si and zoom screen sharing)

The only thing one needs to do is configure environment variables to start qt and gtk apps in wayland mode.
