I run proprietary Nvidia drivers as well and Wayland runs so much better than Xorg now that I'm permanently coming over to Wayland. I'm extremely happy rn with Wayland

Why are you forcing i3 to use the dedicated GPU?
AFAIK sway doesn't work with proprietary Nvidia drivers
I'd love to run hybrid graphics with free drivers, don't get me wrong.
I also love running steam games and video acceleration and with my previous setup it was mostly unstable. My current setup just works, with minor effects like reduced battery times and picom bugs.
I'm just trying to learn the reasoning behind your decision. I ran i3 on multiple devices, the newest one being a t480, and never had any issues with the integrated graphics.
Are you also forcing picom to use the dedicated GPU?
Seems like a waste, unless you're playing one of those games that runs better on the integrated than on the dedicated.
My setup is 4k on two displays. The Intel GPU can't handle them on 60Hz I guess. There is a thinkpad dock involved as well, so I think I'm stuck with HDMI and the dedicated gpu. I tried a lot of things :/
on a 9 year old laptop, and you even game on it, God damn dude!
I3 shouldn't really be impacted AFAIK, but I'd drop picom completely just to save some cycles. It's not like you have resources to spare on aesthetics.
I like transparent terminals and vsync. That's my only reason for picom
