I've seen it mentioned before but I haven't had the time to actually try it, what's the user experience with waypipe? I read the documentation and the examples but I'm still not sure.

Do you need a new, dedicated SSH/waypipe session for each application or can you just connect to a remote machine, launch and close all the applications you want, even more than one at a time, and keep using the SSH session interactively for CLI tools?

The latter. Waypipe works mostly the same as SSH X11 forwarding from the user PoV. Both can be active for the same SSH connection, and the user can choose Wayland or X per-application via environment variables.
