Enjoy Bitwig. It seems to work for you.
(And mind the door doesn’t hit you on the **** as you leave)
Cheers,

Have you tried using 100% X11 scaling, but then in Ardour Preferences > Appearance increase Ardour’s ui/font scaling to 125?
Another option that some users do is run XNest (a complete X11 desktop) inside a single fullscreen window on Wayland. That gets you native X11 inside XNest (without XWayland).
… but I’d not take any of this on stage

I’m using OpenSuse Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma Wayland.I set my display scaling to 125% and it doesn’t look blurry to me.
However, in my display setting, I have the following option:
If I change that setting to “Scaled by the system” then that results in ardour (and other X11 applications) being blurry. The tooltip even warns of this. Whether Gnome can do this though, I don’t know.
A bit off-topic, but I enjoy both Ardour and Bitwig at the same time. I use Bitwig as an intrument with MIDI controllers / kbd connected to the Bitwig box and redirect its output via a USB-to-ADAT device to the Ardour box via a Scarlett 18i20 (so I get 8 channels at 48k SR out of this box). The Ardour box acts as a recording and mixing / monitoring machine and is kept at that due to the rather low resource footprint Ardour leaves (unlike Bitwig!!).
I have had Bitwig for a few months now and I definitely find it great for experimental musical work but it is definitely not a replacement of my use of Ardour, which I have been using since the 2.x days (I’m a donator). As to the OP’s issue, never had this problem but I’ve been using pure X11 and Debian for decades (with the basic MATE desktop).
