The reality of Wayland input methods in 2022 (2022)
I also know input methods work great in Ubuntu (Gnome Wayland) because Gnome supports ibus.
But the article is specifically about incompatibility of input methods among different DEs: Gnome, KDE, wlroots-based environments such as Sway and Hyprland.
After many years, ibus still doesn’t work with wlroots: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2182
The list of recommended IMEs on Sway are all WIP: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway#...
Most people use fcitx5 with Sway because fcitx5 and Sway both support input method unstable v2. But the article explains that v2 is still not universally supported among wayland DEs, and that’s why it’s problematic.

Fedora 38 Beta Released
The F38 beta is currently affected by two (mostly gaming-related) issues that you should be aware of: - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2678 -> a lot of SDL-based games have their fullscreen mode broken. The issue is bisected. - https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2480 -> Keyboard input sometimes gets stuck. Issue has already been identified and we're waiting for an ibus release.

I created a (Linux) script to easily type Unicode math everywhere.
There is also an ibus table for LaTeX (including a preview popup): https://github.com/ibus/ibus/wiki/LaTeX

A Mathematical Keyboard Layout (2018)
I wrote a small plugin for Sublime Text that allows me to enter common math symbols as unicode characters by virtue of a selection popup. So, for instance, I hit Ctrl+m, type e.g. "subs" (for subset – it does fuzzy matching), hit enter et voilà, I get "⊂".
While it works very nicely, it's of course unavailable outside Sublime, so I've been looking for alternatives and came across the following projects:

I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
At this point what are the problems with Wayland that haven't been worked around or papered over? The only thing I can think of is colour management which is still unsolved but being actively worked on. You mentioned IMEs below which is something I've also found to be broken but this issue probably lies with the IME and not with Wayland. For example ibus doesn't yet support v2 of the input method protocol.
