Yeah, it was always there in Tweaks (or dconf, if you knew where to look).

fractional scaling

> GNOME 47 includes an enhanced fractional display scaling feature, which provides better support for legacy X11 apps. This feature is still considered experimental and should only be used for testing. To enable it, you can run the following from the command line: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features '["scale-monitor-framebuffer", "xwayland-native-scaling"]'

looking forward to that
