I'll definitely give Mint a go! I'll give pop os a try as well since they have their new DE coming soon.

X11 doesn't limit it, but you will want to enable "Force composition pipeline" to prevent screen tearing. nvidia and Wayland work together btw. It's not a match made in heaven but they do work.
I think it's a fun (hahaha not) part of the hdmi protocol. I have the same monitor combo and the same issue with the monitors. I find that turning one off fixes it (usually Samsung since my Asus monitor completely shuts down for power saving) but I also remember at least one of my distros not having this issue. Unfortunately it's not Ubuntu which I'm on at the moment so I can't help but either Fedora, Debian or Manjaro didn't have the issue.
I tried Nobara once and it doesn't play nicely with my computers secure boot. It didn't recognise it as a valid boot disk. I never got further than that since every other distro allowed me to boot. OpenSUSE would be a good one to try, I appreciate it's a stable rolling release! It almost sounds perfect!
