You'd probably want to use an X11-based DE like Cinnamon instead, many games still don't play well with wayland.
This has not been my experience. I've an Nvidia desktop and AMD HTPC, both running Wayland and a wide variety of games. What's more, they both do variable sync and HDR.
I haven't used X since 2022. Wayland has been pretty solid for me - although the fractional scaling issue is going to plague us well into 2030 at this rate.
I'll give it a spin though, worth a shot.
Don't Steam Deck games run on Wayland?
