This is something the screencopy protocol supports. GNOME Shell has NACKed our protocols, so they won't implement it. Other compositors like KDE are potentially interested.
It seems to me like an issue with Gnome Devs not wanting to implement this protocol. Still an issue though. My guess is that for most use cases, pipewire should suffice for now.
I can't switch to wayland because java programs looks really bad in wayland on HiDPI display. https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/wakefield/Open+Unsolved+Problems
Yea, that's another good issue and reason to not use Wayland by default. openJDK is slowly adopting Wayland, but it will take time. Maybe we can create a wiki page to track the critical issues as this one?

No . . . Wayland has issues and won't allow screensharing with apps like Gotomeeting, Zoom etc. I have to therefore use X11.
Wayland doet not have issues for screensharing. It's the opposite: applications like Zoom don't support Wayland screensharing... I see as a different matter completely.
Screensharing on Wayland, although not properly stable, has been working since quite time on browsers and applications that support it:
