Well, I guess "complete desktop environment" means different things to different people.

When it comes to gaming then sure, the gap in Wayland is probably larger than the gap in X or the gap in Linux gaming in general.

I have been using Wayland for quite a while now and last time I used it with a "complete desktop environment" like Gnome (which is not my daily driver), I found very few things lacking. In fact, the only thing I can come up with is window sharing of native Wayland windows from apps running in XWayland compatible mode. Given that, I would disagree with your assessment that Wayland driven DEs are not ready for wide spread use.
