The biggest issue with Pipewire IMHO is that it does not support
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. That will be a big obstacle to growth until 18.04 is
no longer supported, which is still about two years away. I don't know
what's involved in doing a backport, but I for one would use Pipewire
if it was working on 18.04.

Somebody said on GitHub that "Pipewire is
the soon to be successor to
Jack/Pulseaudio".
Yes, and ALSA as well to some extent. To applications pipewire looks
like a running JACK server, or pulseaudio or like an ALSA device. So
existing apps do not have to be changed.
Search this list archives from 2018. There was a discussion of the
framework.
Is Pipewire viewed like this by the wider
community? Does anybody have
experience using it?
Yes, all Fedora 34 users, and some Arch'ers too. It comes up regularly
on the Ardour forum in recent months, top 3: [1,2,3].
There are still a few rough edges, but it matures quickly.
