Is sway any harder to start than, say, i3?

I'm using Wayland and KDE but it wasn't any more difficult than setting up X11 and KDE. Both required actual configuration (and on my system, either launches from SDDM).

If you're using a distro that does one by default, then yes it takes some effort to go with a non-default option, but if you're configuring from the ground up then choosing Wayland doesn't seem any harder.
