Until they fix both NVIDIA and multi-monitor support, it is a no-go for the majority of users.

KDE devs ignore anything that isn't important for Qt. This has been the reality since KDE's inception. Qt treats Wayland as a second-rate citizen, so does KDE. It is not rocket science. It is just that KDE developers hadn't realized up until recently that Wayland support in GNOME was so advanced that it began to have actual benefits in software like Firefox that X11 lacks. Right now KDE is like a dinosaur in comparison. Give it a couple of years and GNOME will leave KDE forever behind, with all major software supporting Wayland and performing better on GNOME. Unless KDE devs stop messing around and redirect their efforts to Wayland support, and put pressure on Qt to do the same (there are still things missing from Qt too).
Are you aware that the biggest player (by far) in the Linux desktop still isn't using Wayland by default? And won't be for at the very least other 2 years. Because if Wayland won't have reached feature parity by 22.04 Ubuntu will revert to X for 2 years more.

Drivers aren't made for X or Wayland. It works the other way around.
OSS driver stack (Intel, AMD): You are completely right.
NVIDIA driver stack: Unfortunately for us users, you are wrong. NVIDIA basically rewrote the X server in their driver. Remember they had proprietary drivers when the thing was called XFree86, and so, their way of working is so noughties.
