In my case it's the lack of virtual screens in Wayland
(xrandr --panning):

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 12000 x 2800, maximum 16384 x 16384
DisplayPort-0 connected primary 12000x2800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 600mm x 340mm panning 12000x2800+0+0
   3840x2160     60.00*+  30.00

:-)

Perhaps I could help? Just don't know where to start, but it doesn't
look like a big enterprise.

There was a period in Xfree86 history when it stopped supporting panning
(for a couple of years maybe), and it was a hard experience.
