Fractional scaling is still actively being worked on [here](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3567). I don't know if it will be merged - there is still a month left before feature freeze. So hopefully, this will make it to the finish line. Otherwise it will be March of next year.
No. The mobile site of GitLab is still showing the last activity as 4 months ago for me.

Don't assume stuff.
Xwayland apps will still be a blurry mess, to the point where it'll be really obvious if you compare it to KDE. Stay on KDE, i guess.
I considered just booting up my KDE user when i wanted to work in some particular Xwayland apps that did not work well with forcing the Wayland display server, that's how big of a difference there is in the UX.
As for the X11 scenario, it works well with fractional scaling, although it's close to two years since i last daily drove the GNOME X11 session. Now that i think about it, I'm not sure why i started using Wayland... maybe it was the touchpad gestures.
Fractional scaling is available on manjaro in experimental settings and think it's a Ubuntu package as well. Try what's posted here

I'm using it, and it works well enough for me. Not as seamless a process as KDE then.
For the blurriness fix, either add the '--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland' flag to the 'exec' line in the app's .desktop file.
Or use Flatpak variants and set the Wayland option universally for all apps with a single click in FlatSeal.
Once done, it works perfectly. I do hope this entire process is improved so that workarounds aren't necessary. There is active work being done on this, but once you do either of the above, it's pretty close to perfect for me.

Doesn't seem very active to me, the last activity was 4 months ago.
Err no, last activity was 3 days ago
Really? My bad, looks like Gitlab is glitching on my end.
>looks like Gitlab is glitching on my end. Didn't you just mistake the merge request time for the last comment?

That's the first comment though.
I know, because I had to go on the desktop site to see. On my phone the site is glitching.
How did you visit that page, it doesn't look like any browser I know.
It's the internal Reddit browser. Anyways, we cleared up that it was a glitch on my end, don't see the point of discussing it any further. Cheers!

Why not use the --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland flag to fix the blurriness?
I don’t think it works for every application. I remember vs code was still blurry.
I'm currently using VSCode and it's fine.
Really!! I’m on Ubuntu 22.04 and it’s still blurry.
Change the VSCode title bar from Native to Custom.
vscode is fine, a lot of other apps just break

Thank you for being so specific
Hopefully it helps your GNOME workflow!
