Yeah, Tumbleweed has a good track record with NVIDIA drivers in my experience. As with updates in general.
Although I still use X11 as Wayland still has graphical issues in some apps for me. Usually Flatpaks. That makes it unusable for me for the time being.
Edit: I have an older card (1050ti), so maybe I don’t get the latests drivers anymore?? On version 550.
Ah the problem you are describing in wayland actually usually happens only with electron apps. Most of the electron apps require forcing them to run on wayland. They are usually running on X (x-wayland) which cause all sorts of glitches. You can use xeyes to check if the app is using xwayland or not. If eyes move when you move the cursor inside the app then it’s on xwayland.
To resolve the issues for the electron apps I pass these parameters:
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
Getting these args to flatpacks could be a bit tricky. You can usually find Appimages that can allow you to run these apps easily on wayland.
I am also on ver 550.120 so doubt that driver is the issue here.
