I'm currently trying pipewire on openSUSE Tumbleweed. I'm very impressed with it so far.

(After realizing it was broken, because I didn't have the pipewire-alsa package installed => No audio devices) The pulse drop-in worked flawlessly out of the box. I'd had some isssues with the jack drop-in libraries tho. (metalic voice, basically not useable) To fix this, I had to change the sample rate in /etc/pipewire/pipewire.cfg from the default 48000 to 44100.

Have you been using some GUI to be able to control volume, etc? I've been holding out on replacing PA with PW on Tumbleweed until [1] is resolved so I can continue using pavucontrol (pavucontrol's deps will be satisfied by pipewire-pulseaudio and not only pulseaudio), which is currently blocked at [2] being accepted. Probably another week or so.
