My machine has nvidia & I don't think so yet.
Support for browser hardware enc/dec, global key shortcuts, & couple more stuff lacking on wayland.
Xorg will not go anywhere even for the next 5 years afaik.

Wayland and X11 are two different display server technologies that allow you to see your desktop and manage the windows that each application and tool generates on the desktop. They have a lot in common but also some key differences — mainly in the way that the graphical data is relayed between application, window manager/compositor. X11 is probably still the better choice, just from a compatibility perspective. X11 has been in use for a very long time by computing standards, and it is reliable and stable. This stability comes at a performance cost,

Browser hardware acceleration not yet. That is where 90% of everyone's workflow is in. And electron applications glitch too much.Global key shortcuts are now fixed!
I could use Firefox as it doesn't have any issue as of now. But none of the chromium forks do. And Firefox is too sketchy, complicated & slow.
Been running hyprland on arch as a daily for a couple of months and let me just say, It's Ogre for X
just saw a video about this today. the the xorg foundation is behind both xorg/x11 and wayland. its the same developers. the current wayland developers were previously xorg/x11 developers. based on that, it makes it highly likely wayland will improve faster since it has more manpower behind it.
