Just installed this and (combined with xwayland 24.1) it fixes the grand majority of the xwayland issues. I assume they'll be totally gone when the kwin version with explicit sync drops.

I've seen a 5% decrease in game performance and a game crashed on me for the first time in forever after installing it, so you might want to wait for stable though

Depending on your distro I think there is kwin patches in aur for the stuff that will be in 6.1
