#I'd even argue you could call him the heart since Inej and Jesper are both hopelessly in love w/him and Nina at least likes him

I will elaborate, having just finished a rewatch of the movie:

Miles, running after Peter B: What am I doing? What am I doing? What am I doing?

Wylan, disguised as a waiter in Club Cumulus for a job with the Dregs: WhatamIdoingherewhatamIdoingherewhatamIdoinghere.

Peter B. Parker to Miles: “Don’t watch the mouth. Watch the hands.”

Kaz to Wylan (and the rest of the Crows, but kinda mainly to Wylan): “Always hit where the mark isn’t looking.”

Both of them are out of place in their group, naïve in comparison to the person/people teaching/training them (although they are remarkably competent in other situations), and new to the circumstances everyone else in the group are used to. But by the end of their respective journeys, they learn the lessons that their mentor had to teach them (I don’t know if/when Wylan repeats the “Always hit where the mark isn’t looking”, but Miles does repeat “Don’t watch the mouth. Watch the hands” at the climax of the movie). Both of them end up doing super badass things and saving the collective ass of their group after overcoming their personal challenges, facing their fears, and proving to themselves and everyone else that, while they may be new to this and they may have a somewhat different take on everything, they’re just as good as any of the other people.

They also both feel the need to prove themselves to their father, although Jefferson is a far better father and person than Jan Van Asshole. And, though this probably means absolutely nothing, they’re both the sixth member of their group. Maybe that’s a subverting-the-five-man-band-trope thing, or maybe it goes deeper and shows how they’re a sixth wheel of sorts, interrupting the flow of an already functional five man band, or maybe it’s just a coincidence and six is a good number of characters for a group.

Wylan displays similarities to Miles Morales in Into the Spiderverse, discuss
