To give any opinion about you chances to get wayland working one would need
to know your HW and what version of the driver you're running. If your HW is
8 years old, then my guess would be your chances of getting wayland running
are slim.
Wayland runs with nouveau on this system purchased in 2010 and running Fedora 33:

I have had problems with distros that no longer include modules to support older hardware. With Fedora I was
stuck on 5.8 kernels until a simple mistake that broke nouveau on old hardware was corrected upsteam.
