bindsym not working with flameshot
I combine grimshot + swappy to get something similar to Flameshot. Not as good, but it has the advantage of... actually working on Sway.

lcd drawing tablet screen/pen viewport "mapped" over portion of screen, wayland
First, conceptually this is what I mean: think about when using a good screen-capture/annotation tool like flameshot: you select a region of the screen, and "magic" you can "edit" it, "in situ". No, what I'm talking about wouldn't share any of the same technical underpinnings with the way flameshot works, it would be the live monitor output, not a raster dump of the screen made to look like it's live. And the annotating would be done on a different screen. But as a user, this is pretty similar.

MSPaint like tool for Linux
This https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/1529 mat or may not be an issue for you with Flameshot, but it may be for others. It's solvable if it is an issue by using mandatory access control such as AppArmor or conditional build. Just FYI.
