Wayland harder for DE developers?
A lot of compositors are based no the wlroots lirbary. So they are still sharing the development effort and have a common base, its just in the form of a library rather than a display server.

How to use PRIME nvidia driver with sway and steam?
It looks like wlroots supports PRIME based on this thread but I know that sway in general only supports open source drivers. Thats fine by me, I'd like to run it off the iGPU exclusivley for power saving anyway but I'd like to render games on the Nvidia card. I see that the arch wiki talks about prepending steam launch options with __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia but I still can't get games to launch. Dmesg has some hints:

My VR Hell on NixOS
The underlying Wayland protocol needed to allow direct mode for HMD has been merged as an official Wayland protocol a few months ago. Sway and Wlroots both already support it, though both have not received a release since then, so you would need to run Git master there. XWayland (which is required for SteamVR) has a pending merge request (which will probably be merged in the next few days) that implements the required feature. I am running my Valve Index in VR since I switched to Wayland in February this year. The Vulkan extension you mentioned in the post is just a fallback in case the X server (or in your case XWayland) doesn't support drm-lease. I never saw that extension in action so I don't even know if it works at all on Linux.

1 month on a Linux desktop
The topic makes for some pretty spicy reading 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ but to cut a long story short, at the time of writing (22/08/2021), Nvidia's proprietary drivers don't fully support an API called Generic Buffer Management (GBM) - A more or less universally agreed upon API required most Wayland compositor libraries (like the official version of wlroots, used by swaywm) and supported by more or less every other hardware manufacturer's drivers. This means quite a lot of modern desktop environments aren't supported properly when you're using an Nvidia GPU.
