Yup, this is huge. Wayland gaming is now a possibility. With Explicit Sync (needed for NVIDIA users) and VRR, there’s now no excuse to keep gaming in X11 in both DEs.
Yes, no VRR (by default anyway) was a mild inconvenience, but it doesn’t exactly make games unplayable. It’s not like everybody hated gaming before gsync/freesync became widespread.
For me, VRR is crucial as I play a lot of FPS games or else, I don’t feel that the mouse is the extension of my hand. That’s why I switched from Gnome to KDE.

it has been possible for quite some time now
In KDE, I agree. I have an AMD video card and I’ve been gaming in KDE Wayland for quite a while now.
In Gnome too. I’ve been doing it.
