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

Tearing updates got merged into Wayland! Now we only have to wait for implementations in KWin and Gnome!
I believe that a lot of the current approach to fixing it is something similar to xdg-desktop-portal. That's for signaling for screenshots, but a similar idea could work for listening for key events without being focused, apparently. It bypasses the standard Wayland system completely and uses D-Bus and Pipewire instead. I'm not too familiar with the details myself, though.

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.
