I'm using KDE with Wayland and 2 non-standard DPI monitors (one at 100% the other at 150% scale). No workarounds needed, nothing is blurry. I think your experience comes from GNOME which lacks behind in this regard.
FWIW, I can do the same with KDE on Xorg with Gentoo Linux.
Since the introduction of the XSETTINGS protocol in like 2003 or 2005 or so to provide a common cross-toolkit mechanism to communicate system settings, the absence of "non-integer" scaling support has always been the fault of the GUI toolkits.

When doesn't GNOME lag behind? Honestly, most of Wayland's problems have been because a project that expects protocol implementers and extenders to cooperate in order to make the project work set those expectations while knowing that GNOME was going to be one of those parties whose cooperation was required.
The issue with X11 is that it's not dynamic. Think using a laptop, which you sometimes connect to a screen on which you require a different scale. X11 won't handle different scales, and it also won't switch from one to the other without restarting it.
