The only thing missing for me is a way to run Xwayland with the NVIDIA drivers. I don't know if it would be enough if they implement GLAMOR support, which Xwayland uses.

That's a good step forward!

And now do we have any date for Mir/Wayland from NVidia? Or maybe Nvidia will only provide those "neutral" drivers that open source project will use by themselves?

I believe the agreement was for Nvidia and the community to work towards a new API that solves all the remaining issues. Since we haven't heard of that API being anywhere near finished (is it even started?), there won't be a driver anytime soon.
