Is there any hope that we may see this implemented reliably any time soon under Wayland? It’s an important part of any OS and only a handful of applications actually remember the geometry and location of their own windows. The process actually works better under X11.

There is hope, as this is a key part of the Wayland session restore work that’s ongoing.

I can’t help being pessimistic, this could mean “another couple of years” considering the snail pace of Wayland improvements. Wayland has been out for 16 years now and still lacks basic features.

Maybe try this:
It’s super limited but maybe better than nothing.
What I would like to see is being able to open an app, resize it to my liking, open “Configure Special Application Settings”, doubleclick “Detect Wind Properties”, select size and have the dimensions the same as the app window I sized rather than having to size the Applications Settings window to the app I resized before selecting size.
As for position selecting it under "Configure Special application settings works just fine. Examples: Both Discord and Telegram set to be lined up on the right side of the screen just under the main panel, Stacer set to open in the middle of the screen, LocalSend the same as Stacer, SMPlayer sized to my liking set to launch in the middle of the screen. The only app I can’t use position on is Dolphin cause I always have two Dolphin windows open.
True. I had to switch back to dual 1200p monitors as fractional scaling using a single 27" 4k monitor still isn’t quite there yet. Once again, fractional scaling under X11 actually works better.
Once again, basic functionality…
