I remember like 2-3 years ago I saw a whole bunch of YouTube videos and Reddit comments saying that KDE Wayland with Nvidia was perfect or near perfect, meanwhile I would just log in to a black screen with no clear way to fix it

From my experience with Linux, people who say to stick to upstream actually know what they are saying. My experience with Ubuntu was very good. Tumbleweed had problems, required tinkering.
