Switching To wayland with Nvidia Drivers.
I actually got a chance to develop against some proprietary API and i don't blame them for not wanting to support proprietary drivers , But there is at least one guy maintaining a fork for nvidia so you can try your luck there.

Introducing River, a Dynamic Tiling Wayland Compositor
The developer of the EGL stream fork of wlroots wants to migrate to the original version, maybe if he will become a maintainer there could be a change in the status quo, or he can maintain a fork with fixes.

NVIDIA GBM support eta?
Sway uses wlroots, which is one of I believe 3 wayland libraries (wlroots, smithay and taiwins). It just happens that sway (and most other compositors such as river, hikari, dwl) use wlroots, which doesn't care about nvidia. There is wlroots-eglstreams if you want to try that.

Any reviews for Gaming on Wayland with NVIDIA GPU Drivers?
That is not entirely true, there is a fork of wlroots which supports NVIDIA's proprietary driver's EGLStreams implementation, which works fine with Sway and probably other WMs too, see https://github.com/danvd/wlroots-eglstreams.
- It runs sway!

Nvidia engineer confirms Sway works with the GBM path of their driver
In the meantime you can use wlroots-eglstreams

Nvidia and Sway
Install a fork of wlroots (the library used by Sway to do pretty much everything).

Sway not working on my system(Fedora 34)
Also I know about a fork a guy did for wlroots that adds support for egl streams but this is far from ideal, it's a interesting job nonetheless https://github.com/danvd/wlroots-eglstreams

Good compositor that support Nvidia's driver?
If your a technical person , you can give wlroots-eglstreams a try (it's a fork of wlroots adding nvidia support).

How can I try Wayland with the new NVIDIA 470 drivers?
As of now you can run Sway with wlroots-eglstreams, which is a work-in-progress fork of wlroots, working as drop-in replacement, see https://github.com/danvd/wlroots-eglstreams and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wlroots-eglstreams-git/.
