That's the heart of the problem. Intel is fine with their free drivers, and AMDGPU will be a good compromise, but NVIDIA will have to do all the work to implement a driver specifically for Wayland. Since AFAIK, Wayland requires KMS, NVIDIA is far far behind.

It isn't Wayland/Mir holding Wayland/Mir back. It's the proprietary driver blobs.
