You could install it without a desktop and then manually install only the packages for Plasma with Wayland but idk if that'a really worth the effort

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.

It would work, but you'd have to use a greeter other than sddm, since that depends on x11 whether you run it on Wayland or not.
Any chance you are just experiencing rough edges on the new release? Before you'd nuke and pave...
I just did that upgrade yesterday and so far smooth sailing, but I have what I perceive as one of the easier use cases. (Recent and intel-only hardware)
Edit - I also haven't tried anything weird with it yet. Haven't even tried multimonitor yet. Just basic Wayland Plasma session.
Perhaps, but I nuked nonetheless. I had issues with remnant files from past installs, so at least they're fully gone for sure now. (I had nearly 100GB I removed manually, potentially more I missed).
There's no feeling like a fresh install anyhow, that's for sure. As long as you're happy with the result. :)
