Does OBS work well with this display server or should I stick to X11?

Use "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb obs" for starting OBS as Xwayland client.
For screen/window capture you need 3rd party plugins like:
github.com
If that is considered "well" for you I don't know.

By well, I merely meant without needing to run X server under wayland or other potential issues, as I'm quitting dualbooting Windows 10 altogether and couldn't find any recent topic covering this.
Thank you for the reply, that'll save me a lot of time.

There is also a native Wayland support PR on the OBS Github. But it may take a bit until it will be merged. I think it is driven by the same person who made the first plugin - so maybe that plugin makes some assumptions about that PR being merged (unsure, only can remember I had some problems compiling it some time ago). The GNOME one should be fine in case you are running a halfway recent GNOME version. For all other DEs it depends on them what they support and/or if a plugin exist for them.

I switched my GNOME Shell (desktop) from X11 to Wayland and everything seems to work other than screen capture, for which I'll be installing one of those plugins indeed. One of the suggested plugins looks cool in relying on pipewire, but I was having trouble building pipewire on my OS, and the other plugin implies using GNOME's LookingGlass tool, so I ended up reverting my desktop session to X11 for the screencast recording :-)
Looking forward to the next release carrying that Wayland PR for next times around.

mine works great if what you want is to record gameplay. What I have a problem with is replay buffer, which is sad because that's what I use the most. Wayland turns off OBS hotkeys.

I am trying to get it working for a couple of days. X11's performance in game is horrid compared to Wayland.
I tried the instructions:

Actually this worked: https://github.com/codycwiseman/wayland-hotkeys-plus?tab=readme-ov-file#system-settings-locations
On CachyOS, installed the obs-wayland-hotkeys-git from AUR repo and followed isntructions from above link.

The method above works for me as well on EndeavourOS. For anyone else that wants to use this method, you just need the flatpak OBS version and also install the wayland hotkeys plugin for flatpak (https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.obsproject.Studio.Plugin.WaylandHotkeys).
Then follow the instructions in the link above to change the hotkeys. I'm using extra function keys (i.e., G2, G3, etc.) and they work with OBS out of focus.
