I haven't used Mate so have no opinion. To me the major weakness of
KDE/Wayland (as a long-term KDE user) is the lack of true Session
Restore, i.e. being able to log out and in again, with all your windows
correctly positioned on the right desktops. That kind of works on
KDE/X11, but not yet on Wayland. See this ongoing BZ discussion:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436318

I read somewhere that session restore works on Gnome, but have never
been able to verify this. It's astonishing to me that this basic
usability feature seems to get so little attention.

I seriously doubt it, as Fedora is highly invested in Gnome. However
there was a recent decision that the next Fedora Workstation release
would support KDE on an equal footing with Gnome:

I agree, but that's just me.
