Used Tightvnc back in days of Redhat and a number of Fedora Core version, then they switch to the tigervnc and that worked for a long time, then stopped working if local login, with vnc using wayland/gnome 3. The xfce did work until Fedora 39, and then it stopped. The stopped supporting the vncserver option, and I could never get it to work even with xfce. So turbovnc was my only option. It has worked fine on my test machine, and now on all machines.
Well, hope you can get something to work either with tigervnc or turbovnc, but I tried and failed with tigervnc. It worked to 38, but 39 made it impossible. So, looks like you have to do things the exact tigervnc way with systemd or out of luck.
