When I first tried to port my tmux config to wezterm it took about a day to learn about all the wezterm concepts, map them to their tmux equivalents, and reach an mvp. I tend to be on the slower side to pick things up though.

Locally - I far prefer wezterm now. The only issue for me was that getting persistent server side sessions seemed to come at the cost of some weird neovim gui refresh and latency issues which I'm not sure are fully solved yet, so I still use tmux for that. Looking at the issue tracker, maybe I should try again, seems that at least some refresh issues have been addressed since I last checked https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/issues/4607

would you mind sharing your configuration, so i can compare it to what i have now?

my family keeps me busy enough that learning new tech comes out of my work time, and i can't afford to spend a day to learn how to configure an application just to make it do the things i need just to replace another application that already works. especially not when it is uncertain if what i want is even possible. knowing that it is possible does help though, and the article i found allowed me to get close to the configuration i am looking for (the mvp) without having to spend all that time learning. it doesn't have to be perfect from the start, just mostly usable, so that i can dive in and use it while i learn the few things that i am missing. for a tmux replacement that means it needs to have the interactive ability to create and switch sessions and tabs.
