This applies only if you update or reinstall. I stopped updating the whole system (permanently), except for a few independent programs, so I won't have to do anything. :)

This is great. Moving forward, getting the crap outta here.

It's fine. Even if you're on Nvidia graphics, as long as you're past the 570 branch of propietary driver (I believe...or is it 575?) there's enough working that you can use Wayland as a daily driver, even for gaming.
The only thing that I use it for that I haven't been able to test yet is DaVinci Resolve, and that's largely because installing DaVinci resolve has become a hassle in itself on Linux.
Installing a couple of packages to be able to go back to an X11 session if I feel like it is not that big a deal.

it wouldn't be ok to install plasma-x11-session and kwin-x11 for every one using Plasma
Why not, it was so before the change. But it is okay to break all systems by default which use x11? Pretty poor choice IMHO.

Yes, it's ok for Arch to break things. As their Wiki describes, it's for "the proficient GNU/Linux user, or anyone with a do-it-yourself attitude who is willing to read the documentation, and solve their own problems." You're expected to follow Arch Linux news to watch out for things that require user intervention to avoid breakages.
It isn't Ubuntu or Fedora who try to make a system accessible to everyone.

It's not OK. It's a Milquetoast way of further harming X11 users without having users abandon the DE wholesale.

There have been manual interventions required for a lot of things.
Why did you not see conspiracy theories when they broke something java related for example?
Because thats how it works with arch, shit can not be resolved nicely when everything changes all the time, so you have to do an intervention and they tell you what to do and you just do it and then it just works. So stop being a delusional nut, nobody cares about you using whichever package.
