I'm curious about this option because I usually end up enabling it every time I install Linux. But I don't really find a lot of people having issues when enabling it. (I haven't tried the force full composition pipeline, as I've read that's even worse for performance).
Wouldn't be a good idea to have it active by default in case the performance isn't really that bad? I know it's useful because I've searched for it. But I think for any beginner who comes to Linux it would be a real mess when you have screen tearing by default in a lot of games.

Not necessarily performance issues but you'll add some extra input latency atop of the already existing latency in X11.
But the most important thing is, if it works for you and you have a pleasant gaming experience, there is no issues in using it.
I myself hate tearing as well. Oh boi did I cry in agony as they introduced the tearing protocol in Wayland ...
