Yeah you are correct in assuming that NVidia drivers do not play well with Wayland. It's on NVidia's side to unfuck their drivers, which they haven't in a while already. I think there's open source drivers that work better for that? Think they're called nouveau, look that up. Might even be related to your gaming problems.
I've heard that the Nouveau drivers are not well optimized for gaming and that sticking with proprietary is better (🤮) or the limited open source drivers they officially released. Are you currently gaming on Nouveau drivers?
Nouveau is not appropriate for gaming. NVK is potentially a contender for the RTX and above cards, but it's still in development, so YMMV greatly.
Otherwise, you're stuck with the proprietary drivers. You might see about installing an X11 session, though. I believe Bazzite installs both Wayland and X11 for Nvidia users for this reason.
