There are plenty of competitive options now. You will likely find good options among Huion or XP-pen. If you are looking at Wacom specifically, they still lean to best in class if you don't mind the higher cost. I have a Cintiq Pro 24 and have had it for several years now with nearly zero issues.

Then I moved to an XP-Pen 24 Pro.
Been using XP-Pen since 2018 after trying earlier Huion models.
Can recommend.
