Last time I tried pure wayland on Counter Strike 2 (a game where you can't use the Windows version online because it's blocked) this matters a lot because CS2's wayland native was glitchy with alt-tabbing and mouse grabbing with multiple monitors. Older source engine games you're also fucked because again proton is blocked and the Linux versions are (probably) stuck with XWayland for eternity.
