Gnome has decided to never support wlr-layer-shell that is 40% of your userbase right there.
yeah that's weird, and I can't really tell why, but then that's a gnome problem not a Wayland problem. they're explicitly choosing to not support it.
I did find this though which seems to imply that it could be supported in mutter, but it'd take a fork if you wanted to implement it in gnome shell https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/973
anyway, there's choice. if you need these features use something that supports them
This is great unless you need feature A that only X or Y and B that is only available in Z
fork gnome then, idk what to tell you
How about I just continue to use X which will be getting security updates for the next decade and was feature complete many many years prior.
