Absolutely isn't broken, at least here with a hybrid(optimus) device.
To re-confirm just did fresh install from iso of a couple of days ago.
Updated that install fully today.
Installed nvidia drivers (375
rebooted
Enabled KMS via nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
sudo update-initramfs -u
Rebooted to default session, works fine inc. the added bonus of PRIME
Synchronization: 1 on primary display.

And as mentioned any attempt to log in to a gnome-wayland session fails
with login loop.
