I wish I could take Wayland for a spin but it feels like HL3 vaporware that only a select few individuals are actually capable of using. (I have an nVidia card)

"Select few" being anybody with an Intel or AMD GPU? That's actually quite a lot of people. Shit not working properly is one of the prices you choose to pay when you choose to purchase hardware with poor FOSS driver support.

My poor little Intel GPU can't do 4K and the last 2 AMD GFX cards I purchased had such brutally bad coil whine I decided to switch brands out of sheer frustration.

The Nvidia card I have now is silent and works pretty well.

One day I'll get to take Wayland for a test drive.

I have a Polaris AMD GPU and Wayland does weird things with multi-screen setup, when X11 works nice.

Using it with Nvidia/Gnome 3 on OpenSuse Leap 15.1. Screen jumped left repeatedly today, and I'm having trouble turning it off. Other than that seems to be okay...
