When I was using my NVIDIA GeForce 2080 on my Linux install until last week, Wayland is still quite broken with the latest NVIDIA driver, was forced to use X11. Switching to the GBM backend made things better but some apps are still broken under Wayland. Switching out the GeForce 2080 (to another rig) and replacing it with the AMD Radeon RX 6600XT, things that were breaking under Wayland works perfectly fine now.
This tells me that until all the Wayland bugs are squashed in future NVIDIA drivers, X11 is still needed.
Note: I still think XWayland is required for many years to come as I don't think all apps will have native Wayland support for many years to come. I'm mainly talking about the need for keeping X11.
