Is wayland ready for gaming with nivida RTX series? I have RTX 3060 Ti. I wouldn't mind messing with it to make it work if I have to.

Would want to use a window manager like sway or river.

As an AMD user on Wayland who primarily uses Steam/Proton, I haven't had any Wayland-related issues with gaming at all. This isn't surprising, since the compositor used by Steam Deck (Gamescope) is also Wayland-based.

FYI: If you ever do have compositor-related issues (X11 OR Wayland), you can almost always fix the issue by running the game in a nested Gamescope instance by editing the game's launch command.
