This merge resquest has finally been merged into XWayland, which means NVIDIA users are just one beta driver release away (May 15th) from probably having a good experience on Wayland now!

If Nvidia had worked together with Wayland devs from the beginning this wouldn't be an issue

Did they worked together with X11 to the same extend they need to work together with Wayland?

Cannot confirm any Nvidia unique X11 bugs since everything works perfectly fine since a decade or so for me – but tons of Nvidia unique Wayland bugs (same driver version and same card). I am not quite sure if Nvidia are really the bad one in this specific case.

My whole invironment is full of stuff to make Wayland actually work with Nvidia.

$ cat .config/labwc/environment 
GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
WLR_NO_HARDWARE_CURSORS=1
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=wlr
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland

Not one single line of configuration is used for X11.
