>Last time I used Wayland/Sway I couldn't get decent font rendering. Has the situation improved?

Wayland and Sway don't touch font rendering as far as I know. There should be no difference between font rendering on X and Wayland. Perhaps you were getting blurred out fonts due to scaling?

I guess what I mean is the the font rendering tweaks to give you really nice font dithering etc; didn't used to work. I'm thinking the freetype2 project for example.

The fonts always appeared super sharp and jagged on Wayland when compared to X11.
