Ryzen 5 2500U CPU has Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics which works out the box with Wayland, so there's no need to switch to Xorg because the ASUS X505ZA doesn't have a discrete graphics card which could give better performance by installing a proprietary graphics driver. If Wayland gives better performance on your laptop there's no reason not to use it.

In my experience, Wayland works generally well. The only issue I encountered is if you need to use screen sharing in some applications (for example Skype). I had to switch back to Xorg because I'm using Skype and occasionally with screen sharing, in this time of lockdown.
Test your setup and the applications you use and decide for yourself what works best for you.
