More than ever, GNOME and Plasma are getting way ahead of other desktop environments
MATE & LXQt already have partial Wayland support. Ubuntu MATE team is using Mir to run MATE on Wayland. Upstream LXQt wants to use KWin but a developer already runs LWQt on Mutter. Expect them on Wayland soon. Cinnamon is going to rebase muffin on a newer version of Mutter, which may bring Wayland support with it. With the move to CSDs, Xfce seems to also start work on Wayland support not too far away in the future. While Xorg will continue to thrive, the way to Wayland isn’t that convoluted anymore.

Would love to be able to use keyboard shortcut on this menu
You should create an issue in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter for this.

Dvorak keyboard with Qwerty shortcuts on Wayland
As a result I'm studying the wayland architecture (I like gnome so the compositor would be Mutter) so that I can figure out how to either make a hack or make something legitimate. This is proving time consuming.

Found this gem on the Fedora wiki. Look at the Nvidia entry
Hmm.. I'm not sure about the negativo drivers, but if you need EGLstreams working it seems like there are a few build options for mutter you can use? https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/blob/main/meson_options.txt

River: A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
Wayland is a protocol - not an implementation. It tries to minify latency by merging together some of the components X11 had and tries to do this in a slim and faster way.
The implementation of the protocol may differ, but I know for example MUTTER (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter)
This article has nice and not too complex visualisations: https://www.secjuice.com/wayland-vs-xorg/

LWQt Wayland DE 2nd Demo

What are some alternatives?
