To summarize: there's no such thing as a "good" time to

SIG feels that doing it at the Plasma 6.0 major version upgrade allows
us to reset expectations, as users are used to major versions being
significantly different than their predecessors. Otherwise, we have to
do it sometime later in the middle of the Plasma 6.x lifetime, which
was much less appealing.
I doubt Wayland will be a fully functional replacement for X11 even by the
time Plasma 7 will be released. Surely not in the 6.x lifetime.
The discussion on this thread has been mostly quite helpful, and has
allowed me to provide feedback to KDE developers on prioritizing
things for Plasma 6 development[2].
Unfortunately, you are only cherry-picking individual issues people have
found with Wayland (and it is very unlikely they will all be addressed in
time for F40, as some are quite fundamental and/or require several separate
codebases to be updated in lockstep) and completely ignoring the general
opposition to dropping X11 to begin with.
