I'm happy for you. For me, not so much :-(
I've just installed Fedora 35 and have discovered to my dismay that previously-working (not at all sophisticated) audio no longer works.
Is there a 'Getting Started With pipewire' and/or wireplumber somewhere?
Or
should they 'just work' and I need to check my connections?

Could not agree more with the last sentence. To get audio recognized in order I did this: systemctl stop wireplumber.service dnf erase wireplumber systemctl stop pipewire-pulse.service pipewire-pulse.socket systemctl stop pipewire.service pipewire.socket systemctl daemon-reload dnf --skip-broken erase pipewire pipewire-* libpipewire* pipewire-media-session pipewire-pulseaudio*
dnf -y install plasma-desktop # An error message said that plasma-desktop was deleted although that does not appear to be true
systemctl stop elogd.service dnf erase elog* # I tried installing elog to get the global XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set: no joy doing that.
dnf --allowerasing --skip-broken --best install alsa* kde-settings-pulseaudio dnf --allowerasing --skip-broken --best install pulseaudio* alsa-plugins-pulseaudio dnf --allowerasing install pavucontrol pulseaudio-module-zeroconf
The TL:DR is, that I re-installed alsa and pulseaudio after a couple of hours spent trying to get *anything* to connect to the hardware.
