I'd like to add, I'm using X11 still.  Sometimes, my desktops go crazy. 
This past weekend or one before after updates, my three monitor setup
played ring around the rosy.  It's like each monitor went one position
off.  I only have the plasma panel thing on my primary monitor.  It was
moved, along with all my open programs, to what is technically my third
monitor.  My third monitor went to what is usually my second position. 
It took me a while to add/remove/move things back to where it should
be.  To make matters worse, when I set monitor priority, it wouldn't set
like it should be.  It took some time to work out how to force it to be
like I want despite it not showing the settings correctly. 

I think some of this is upgrade pains.  It works fine until there is a
major update, then things goes sideways, or in a circle.  While some may
be wayland, some may not be.  Multiple monitors does add more
opportunities for things to go weird.  With one monitor, it has very
little choices where to put the screen. 

I'd hate to know I had a setup with 6 or 8 monitors.  o_O
