Unfortunately the bold decision to take on Wayland (due to Gnome) in the upstream debian buster isn't going to propagate to low end hardware like Raspberry Pi incl. Pi4.
Though the Buster based raspbian will be available, they will continue using the LXDE version as Gnome is too heavy for the Pi.
I had tried Wayland for Pi3 earlier in my effort to get a smoother desktop experience on the Raspberry Pi[1], it was the smoothest desktop environment among other options but unusable due to XWayland apps crashing due to framebuffer issues.
I've settled for HW accelerated, Xfce4, Arch Linux (btrfs/zswap) on RPi3.
