What is your experience with Wayland on Void?

I'm (slowly) starting to migrate all my systems from Debian to Void. I'm not passionate about Wayland per se, but I understand it is where future development will be going so I'd like to move in that direction. But I'm having hit-or-miss luck getting going.

In practice, I'm still on X11 in most cases because that works out of the box, whereas Wayland XFCE sessions just die and fall back to lightdm.

Fellow Void-users, are you running Wayland? If so, is it working well for you?

Do extremely short credential lifetimes actually help security?

My company has an external auth provider for the whole organization, and MFA is required (push notification to a phone app). This all works well and I agree with it, BUT they have configured the credentials to expire in 20 minutes. In practice this means everyone in the company is typing their password and fiddling with their phone dozens of times per day to work with any application except for email (somehow it gets away with caching the credentials).

Timeouts for credentials are good, but does this aggressively low setting actually provide increased security?
