From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Afaik the Nvidia issues are pretty much resolved now, though it may depend on exactly which GPU you use.
It's definitely worth using Wayland if it's not having issues, and switching back is absurdly easy, so I'd recommend using Wayland and going back to X if you're encountering issues.
Tldr: it'll probably be fine, give it a go and see
Nvidia on wayland still has some nasty implicit sync bugs, but it is mostly fine.
