I think preferring Xorg on all systems is still the way to go. Here is a list of all the current limitations of the NVIDIA driver with Wayland (in the case of hybrid systems, no RTD3, for example):

The default session for most systems that don’t have an Nvidia graphics card is now Wayland. If you need a non-Wayland session, you can choose the Ubuntu on Xorg session by clicking the gear button after selecting your name on the login screen.

There are several areas in which the R515 NVIDIA driver lacks feature parity between X11 and Wayland. These may be due to limitations of the driver itself, the Wayland protocol, or the specific Wayland compositor in use. ... (Xwayland, RTD3, etc)
