I’ve recently switched to Nobara, and has been unsure whether to go with Wayland or X11. Mostly because I’ve read that Wayland has issues on NVIDIA GPUs and will perform slower, so I went with X11 (On KDE). Is that still the case nowadays, or can I just use Wayland?
I am on arch and use both KDE+Wayland/X11 on my 3060ti and for me wayland still has lots of visual glitches, some programs flicker, sometimes the plasma bar is frozen, etc., etc… Gaming is hit or miss. But I can say, the things that do work are a lot smoother than on X11.

See, your issue is that your card was made by Nvidia.
IDK about KDE, but Nobara gnome has Wayland and xorg entries in the login manager.
Btw Fedora is removing x11 support, so that’s going to be fun for everyone who’s having issues with Wayland.
It’s easy to give it a try. You just have to select it at the login screen and see for yourself if you’re impacted by any issue.
