Still true in 21.04. You need to comment out the nvidia rule in: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules

Debugging this a little, I found that wayland support is wholesale disabled when proprietary NVIDIA drivers are used by this rule: /lib/udev/rules.d/61-gdm.rules (coming from the gdm3 package), however it seems there may be more to this as well in upstream so this seems to affect mutter as well. To be clear, my system only has NVIDIA graphics, I do not also have an Intel integrated GPU, so this is not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1862531.
