HDMI VRR is only supported on HDMI port 2.1 and above, so if the hardware supports it, then the driver work will be done to support it on hardware.

It is not clear if adding support for it requires HDMI 2.1 hardware. It could just be that Nvidia's hardware was more flexible from supporting this kind of thing for a longer period of time.

The Xorg DDX and modesetting driver are mostly seeing minor tweaks and fixes these days, most of the work in the xserver tree is going into Xwayland.

Not really. If this was possible, Wayland wouldn't exist.

Yeah, but X.org Server supports HDR, VRR, high bit depth, 4K, VESA Adaptive-Sync and all these new, modern, cool features
VRR and VESA Adaptive Sync are two names for the same thing, which is already supported by some Wayland compositors as well. In contrast to Xorg, Wayland compositors may be able to make use of it even during normal desktop operation (with Xorg it can only be used for certain fullscreen apps like games).
There is nothing preventing Wayland compositors from supporting high bit depth. In contrast to Xorg, they can switch colour depth on the fly.
4K works fine with Wayland of course.
and yet still outperforms Wayland.
