While Nvidia has made it trickier to play with Linux in general, it usually does not require more than a tinker to fix
I have multiple machines running on Nvidia and AMD hardware with Wayland for years
Its some combination of plasma and wayland. I run wayland on a few machines here and there and they are okay. The last bug I encountered with wayland was getting a game emulator working for someone in window mode. No one who responded wanted to do anything other than blame the program for not working with wayland. None of that helps solve a problem. So I solved it by switching to X11 and the program worked okay in window mode.
That could be but it's not universal to all machines running anything NVidia+Plasma+Wayland as you made it sound in your original post. That is the clarification I was trying to make.
Not sure if you tried, but you can also bridge the gap with XWayland
I run the omnissa client (Horizon client from VMWare) on my daily driver on Wayland even though it's not supported. The client complains every day but works flawlessly
