Yeah, as mentioned earlier: that is an application that directly works with X to interact with the mouse cursor. It needs to be updated or rewritten. No alternative to that, I’m afraid.
@Swiggles@lemmy.blahaj.zone commented that the Input Leap Project (a fork from Barrier from the active developers) already supports Wayland (I still need to mess with it). And Synergy (I think) uses Barrier, or it’s a Barrier fork also. So I will need to switch to Input Leap if I want to use it right now with Wayland! 🙂
Check the input leap project. While I haven’t tested it myself, Wayland support got added like a year ago. You still needed to rebuild some packages, but reading the issue tracker now it seems to have gone a long way.
Unfortunately it is still not considered production ready. At this point I assume they will have it implemented and ready way before synergy though.
Project goals
…
… We will also have our eye on Wayland when the time comes.
Seems they still aren’t compatible with Wayland… that’s why I said if in 2 years none of they still don’t support Wayland… I’m sure there will be another tool (“Barrier” for example) that supports it and will be the time to move on to another software.
I am aware, but check the referenced issues. Support has been merged like a year ago and at least gnome on Wayland should work out of the box. It’s incomplete, but it should be working
Also barrier is considered abandoned at this point the previous maintainers forked it which actually is leap input.

Good luck!
