My temporary workaround is using gedit (markdown) with ibus-typing-booster. It makes typing far more smoother.
I will release an update for ibus-typing-booster soon though which might improve the user experience for you a bit. You are using the mode where you need to press Tab to see suggestions (because of speed and maybe because you rarely need the suggestions). In ibus-typing-booster-1.4.0 you can choose to have the preedit without an underline, or to get the underline only after you pressed Tab to see suggestions. That means that you don't have to see the underline usually while typing which makes it at least look like a bit more like when typing with ibus-m17n.
Yes! Removing the underline (or making it appear when the Tab key is pressed) will be extremely helpful.
Even though I rarely rely on suggestions, I find its ability to remember my usage very useful.
I released the ibus-typing-booster-1.4.0 update now:

but I just remembered that you use Gnome Wayland. Unfortunately under Wayland the preedit style is ignored. Wayland always draws the underline under the preedit, even if the input method requests to turn it off. So ibus-typing-booster does have this nice new option now but it doesn’t work under Wayland ☹. I think sometime in the future this will be fixed in Wayland though and then it will start working.
