Bash Menu
I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

command line menu / launcher?
bemenu (i. e. bemenu-run) is a simple launcher that has command line interface (set with BEMENU_BACKEND environment variable), also fzf can be useful in this regard but it will most likely require writing additional scripts to work as a launcher.

The end of the nice GTK button
I've already highlighted how using environment variables to change themes is a horrible user experience. The bemenu program suffers from the same flaw. Environment Variables should never be used in any way for values that might change inside a running session.

No_color
Environment variables are fine when used for things that usually don't change once they're set. For example, XDG_CONFIG_HOME or GOPATH. They are, however, absolutely awful when used to configure values that will probably change inside a session. A good example is BEMENU_OPTS from the bemenu program, which is used to change colors, font etc. Should I relogin into my session just to make a program use dark mode colors?
https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu#environment-variables
In such cases, environment variables lose their intended purpose and they need to be stuffed into wrapper scripts or overridden on the command line before executing a command, which is extremely annoying.

tessen: an interactive menu to autotype and copy password store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
tessen can use either bemenu, the wayland fork of rofi, or wofi to show password store data. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs root privileges.

tessen: autotype and copy password-store data on Wayland, like rofi-pass
I've made a script called tessen which is, more or less, a replacement of rofi-pass but for Wayland. It can use bemenu or the wayland fork of rofi. It relies on wtype for autotyping instead of using ydotool because ydotool needs a daemon running with root privileges.

How do you guys screenshare Sway on Discord?
Are you running the Wayland envvar for Firefox, MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1? Because the rest of your setup sounds very similar to my (working) setup. You could also run the Python test script included with xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (bottom of this page) as a sanity check that nothing's going wrong there

PSA: Steam Link (Remote Play) works on Wayland with AMD GPU
I don't know which of the xdg-desktop-portal backends you would need for gamescope, but xdg-desktop-portal-wlr has a config file which it reads where you can set the preferred output and set the chooser_type to none. That makes it skip the screen selector for me.
