Screen tearing is more or less unavoidable on X. I've had tearing issues on Nvidia, Intel and AMD.
Avoiding jank is also more or less impossible on X. There is no substitute for Wayland's "every frame is perfect" model.
Oh, and you can't connect a high DPI screen and a low DPI screen at the same time with X; to the degree that DPI scaling works at all, it's one global setting so you get to choose whether stuff should be absurdly big on your low DPI monitor or absurdly small on your high DPI monitor.
