To my knowledge it shouldn't be. Fedora Workstation is already running on Wayland by default for quite some time and even Live ISO is already Wayland. To my knowledge Wayland don't have issues with graphics cards in general.
GNOME has a fallback mechanism where it automatically runs the X.org session if the Wayland session doesn't work. I believe that is active on the live image. Of course, as telemetry is evil, we have absolutely no idea how many Fedora users actually hit this mechanism.
One comment I would make is that VirtualBox doesn't *properly* support Wayland [yet] requiring GNOME to be run as an Xorg session (of course not an issue for Xfce etc).
If Anaconda is to be Wayland, my concern is that it may make all DEs uninstallable, even ones like Xfce far removed from Wayland.
Looking at the change, it's not totally clear to me, but it looks like this is actually mainly about how anaconda is run in the installer environment - netinst, server DVD, and ostree installer images. It's not about live images.
I *think* anaconda would continue to run as an X app if launched from a live desktop running on X. But it would be nice to have that clarified in the Change scope, and any changes to how it would behave in such an environment.
