I am developing a Qt app in Fedora 31 using the default GNOME wayland

1) qt creator crashes often (

crash report tool does not seem to help
2) drag & drop does not work in Qt creator (and in no other Qt app)

I think GNOME / Wayland / Qt it is just not ready and should not be offered as the
default desktop session for Fedora.
It isn't. The default desktop is Gnome/Wayland/Gtk, not Qt.
If I force Qt to use X11 emulations, things are much better.
Probably Qt is responsible (but in the bug reports someone says that KDE / Wayland works
well), and GNOME is not Qt, but there are so many Qt apps, that sending new users to a non
working environment re-enforces the fact that "just works" is not true in Linux.
You should probably post this to the Fedora KDE list, where issues
related to Qt tend to be discussed.
