OK....  I switched a system to use gdm.

I did not delete the info in AccountsServices.  Using my wife's account
I see this in the users file...

[egreshko@acer users]$ cat maria
[User]
Language=
XSession=gnome
SystemAccount=false

I then login after switching to 'GNOME on Xorg" and the file changes to
now...

[egreshko@acer users]$ cat maria
[User]
Language=
XSession=gnome-xorg
SystemAccount=false

I logout and then go to login and the selection is still set to 'GNOME
on Xorg"

I would have thought the intention of adding WaylandEnable=false would
remove Wayland as an option.

If you only use GNOME on the system and you have a limited number of
users...  One thing you could try would be to create a
/var/lib/AccountsService/users file for each user with
XSession=gnome-xorg set and remove change the permissions on the file to
-r--r--r--
