I use it together with wireplumber on three systems, all running bookworm. One old MacBook Air, a fairly new ThinkPad and a run-of-the-mill desktop PC. Works flawlessly on all of them. I have no custom configuration, all default what comes from the packages.

For the laptops I also use BT headphones, and with the ThinkPad I use a headset that with the latest wireplumber switching profiles just work whenever I join a meeting with Slack or Teams (both in Google Chrome).

For the desktop PC I had a use case I never got working properly, or at least easily, with PA. That is to expose all the HDMI outputs of the graphics card as separate sinks. With PW, just switch over to the Pro profile and they all appear. Then I can route what ever stream/application I want to a specific HDMI output.

Additionally, I use USB MIDI devices and a software synth, qsynth, using JACK. Setting up both MIDI and audio routing via qjackctl is so convenient.

Oh, and USB audio devices also work without a problem. Can't say if that is different from PA as I never used them much before.
