Using sway (started from a console login) under Wayland on a two monitor
setup without noticeable issues. Both monitors are identical. Also run
the same on a laptop and plugging in a differently sized external
monitor cleanly starts a new virtual desktop there. Unplugging it moves
the virtual desktop to the laptops LCD. I believe you can move virtual
desktops between monitors but don't recall details.

FTR, I also have xwayland installed for the few tools I use that don't
have Wayland support yet.

My setups run under Daedalus but I should mention that I get by with a
rather limited set of tools in my day-to-day computing.

I don't recall if there is an upper limit on the number of virtual
desktops but I have used up to 10 on a single display.

Hope this helps,
