Seems like the support is getting there. I just checked Firefox and it has landed the code but still has it disabled by default. Most users that set 1.5x on their session are probably still getting needless scaling but hopefully that won't last too long.
It landed four years ago, but had debilitating problems. Maybe a year ago when I last tried it, it was just as bad—no movement at all. But now, it seems largely fixed, hooray! Just toggled widget.wayland.fractional-scale.enabled and restarted, and although there are issues with windows not synchronising their scale (my screen is 1.5×; at startup, one of two windows stayed 2×; on new window, windows are briefly 2×; on factor change, sometimes chrome gets stuck at the next integer, probably the same issue), it’s all workaroundable and I can live with it.
