I do not think that Plasma on Wayland is ready for production use at this time. E.g., middle-click paste support is still incomplete: interoperability of the feature with X11 and GTK applications is not working yet. (X11 because the XWayland parts of the middle-click feature are not yet implemented in KWin-Wayland, GTK because KWin supports only the final standardized version of the extension whereas GTK apparently still only implements its own pre-standard version with a differently-named namespace.) I believe that there are also other open issues with Plasma on Wayland.
