Just tested this on Wayland and the situation seems slightly better. The same test (just the terminal, no extensions) is about 2-3% of CPU usage (compares with less than 1% for compiz) and when I turn on extensions (particularly system monitor) it goes to 5-7%. Not great but better.
Great work on that list of issues. I don't mean just speed I've also found a bunch of other polish issues like the scaling. I'm just surprised gnome-shell is still this rough after so many years of development.
