I have 2 wifi adapters (connected via a USB-A to USB-C adapter) and they both work.

If the driver for the wifi adapter is in the upstream kernel and your kernel has the kernel module enabled*, it'll work OOTB.
Other wifi adapters with a Linux driver which isn't in the upstream kernel can be made to work (usually), but it's a bit more involved.
And generally: with the latest software, you get the latest features, but also the latest bugs.
Luckily they often times also get fixed at some point, but things can and will break from time to time.
