Many Linux users have cited Wayland’s forced vsync as a blocker for gaming related scenarios. This patch adds tearing support into Xwayland!

That’s not my intention at all, in fact, I really welcome such contributions with precise examples, so thank you for providing one! Hardware is a good point, my GPU is a 6800XT which I bought right at release. Played all kinds of games but actually none if the ones you listed. Some working examples on my system:
All of this on Arch Linux with a 5900X CPU. Hope the combination of our comments gives OP a picture :)
Did you do performance comparisons between Wayland and X11, or is your metric subjective?
Completely subjective, I represent the average semi-casual gamer that is limited by skill, not lag. So for all these games I can just tell I did not notice any lag that annoyed me (and everything ran on my 144Hz monitor) and that there have been no framerate drops (to that, I am susceptible)
