Does it come with a native Wayland support, or is it still X only?
I have heard it was "disabled" but the comment wasn't substantiated. enabling Wayland on regular wine 9 is no more than a registry edit and an env variable
At least for Valve's Proton, it's disabled entirely for now. Issue: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4638
For GE and Tkg, it's not impossible that they will either leave it hidden in the menus, like regular Wine does, or leave it on some experimental CI branch
