With full gesture support we'll hopefully get more interactivity, so e.g. if you switch workspaces with a four finger drag it moves as you perform the gesture and stops if you stop moving your fingers. fusuma seems to only recognise the gesture and then run a command afterwards.

Exactly, gestures without interactivity are honestly not worth it in my opinion.

Depends on what "not worth it" means really. Even though gestures minus interactivity is far from how "proper" gestures feel, I'd rather have something rather than nothing (for example, it is still more convenient to 3-finger swipe to switch virtual desktop than a keyboard shortcut or clicking a button).

GNOME Shell (and KDE Plasma I think) already have this gesture on Wayland. Wayfire has it too, thanks to me :)

Our work on X will expose enough information to the window manager and the applications to implement workspace switching in the way you describe.

Fusuma is not integrated with the display server, so it's limited in what it can do.
