I just installed F28 Workstation as a Vbox guest.

So, it is running a Wayland session just fine.
Yes Wayland runs OK but the usability depends on the hardware.
On a MacBook Pro from 2013 touch-pad behavior (scroll + mouse-pointer
movement) is erratic and in general unusable in a Wayland session.
Only a switch to Gnome under Xorg gives a relatively comfortable
working environment.
