That’s a great idea, let’s run VNC without passwords or encryption
And you think I haven’t tried that? It does not work, or at least it didn’t work when I tried about a month ago.
No, I’m going to wait till it’s working correctly

Edit: I am aware of wayvnc, it does not currently work with gnome
Gnome does include a VNC option with gnome-remote-desktop with Wayland but its lacking all the nice security features like encryption and passwords.
So I think you need to state what you want better lyamc.

Debian 10 released July 2019 with gnome desktop was defaulting to Wayland over X11 using AMD or Intel graphics. Same is true with RHEL 8 released in 2019.
Sorry to say a lot of Linux experts making distributions have been setting the default to be Wayland progressively more and more.
The writing was on the wall about wayland coming in 2019 as the core distributions that most distributions are based on started defaulting to wayland for their primary desktop environments.
We are almost 2 years in to the conversion over to Wayland over X11.
There is something important here. x.org setup for doing this testing is now only used for testing XWayland and Wayland technologies. Yes Redhat only putting forward a maintainer for XWayland not X11 on bare metal is a big huge change. Going forwards X11 on bare metal having issues with different display sizes is a real risk due to no maintainer and no testing framework to detect those faults.

Since I've been gaming on Xorg KDE and Windows lately -- Can anyone comment on how input feels on Wayland? I assume it's nice and snappy. PS4 BT Input lag is my biggest worry when the Wayland transition finally happens on my system.

Wayland needs testing on upscale and downscaling to different display sizes, different & multiple screen sizes, etc. It should be expected that many applications will be very troublesome with Wayland, for several more months.
Both GNOME & Wayland differ from most Linux additions. Only complex modifications can be made before being usable. When Canonical & most others use GNOME, few like the GNOME defaults. Luckily this latest version of GNOME is not such a major deviation from the expected WIMP formula created by Xerox.
Later versions of the official Linux kernels might make these Linux innovations easier. "The Linux Foundation" has so many integration tasks ahead, with Wayland, BTRFS, etc.

It should be mentioned that unfortunately there's still the issue that if the hardware does not keep up with refresh rate, mouse movement is still throttled to the frame rate - i.e. if the game runs at 40fps on a 60Hz screen, you will notice mouse stuttering. It will hopefully fixed in Gnome 41 - it's not Wayland specific, just a Mutter implementation detail.
That said, I'd expect the biggest performance differences between X11/Xwayland vs native Wayland to show once franctional scaling is properly figured out. On Wayland, it's possible to do it without performance loss.
