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).
I'm a bit surprised by this. I use VirtualBox both as host under a GNOME wayland session and the guests inside that VirtualBox host also use Wayland.
The only feature which I'm aware of which does not work is the mode where only the guest windows are shown. Everything else works fine.
What exactly is not working for you when you run a GNOME Wayland session inside a VirtualBox guest ?
There have been significant issues with GNOME and KDE Plasma on VirtualBox over the past few years. Honestly, we need to start regularly testing it, because the guest integration is brittle and nobody notices until it's too late. I personally do testing on VMware for KDE Plasma because otherwise it'd never get tested and issues would never get fixed.
The most recent issue is that it's unbearably slow and sometimes suffers serious graphics corruption unless 3D acceleration is turned on.
