Wayland: Font is blurry with fractional scaling (lemmy.kde.social)

This is now the only thing standing between me and using Wayland as my daily driver. I have an all AMD PC running on two 27" 4k monitors. Setting them up to 200% is good, but too big. Setting them to 175% causes the font to be blurry. Not too blurry, but I can tell and it's not comfortable to look at for too long. Also, other UI elements are blurry, too regardless of the scaling. Although those elements aren't defaults, but still blurry and look out of place. For example, the oxygen window decoration buttons are very blurry. Hovering over those buttons shows a big blurry and empty box.

Anywho, I'm pretty sure the whole KDE team is aware of this, but my question is, is this being addressed in plasma 6? This is literally the only thing holding me back from Wayland. I love how snappy it is. Things are way quicker than x11. I want to use it. Thank you

Yeah, I have a 32” 4k monitor and its amazing, can recommend.

I like the 27" size. They're both 60 hz unfortunately :/ I'm thinking of either one of those really long monitors or two with high refresh rate. I need at least 90 hz. I freaking love 4k and can never have anything else.
