Assuming it still works, you can always startup desktop mode nested within game mode, and that will have it running through Wayland.

When will they upgrade desktop mode to plasma 6? X11 is really aging like milk now, I neeeed Wayland…

If they upgraded to Wayland they would have to rework their streaming protocol to function with Wayland and probably several other things need to be reworked. I use plasma 6 with Wayland on my endeavor install, but I still can’t use discord streaming or steam in home streaming without problems. The x11 to Wayland video bridge by the kde devs isn’t even updated to work properly.

FWIW Plasma 5.27 works very well on Wayland with AMD GPUs. The fact that desktop mode uses x11 is probably not related to them still using Plasma 5. I would guess once KDE announces an LTS version of Plasma 6 (possibly as early as 6.2?) they’ll upgrade Steam OS to that.
