Sorry for not filing this bug against wayland. The ubuntu-bug tool wouldn't let me do so and I wanted to supply the logs it collects

Wayland uses a different setting which the Settings GUI does not control (bug 1871864). You can set it manually:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer', 'x11-randr-fractional-scaling']"
