They still use page flipping though, similar to TearFree. Which Wayland compositor(s) have you tried?
I have tried a Wayland Gnome and Plasma session, in both cases the render stutter of Oblivion and the "mouse blocking" of Hitman 2 are gone.
But: As I have stated earlier, this can also be achieved on Xorg with Xfce's xfwm and kwin-lowlatency (a KWin fork with different vsync implementation) compositing. They also trigger pageflipping and thus achieve a tearig free result. I would guess that having that extra vsync + extra backbuffer queue of a compositor can avoid that "collision" of pageflipping + mouse input, in which case we can't be sure if Wayland really isn't affected.
