I have vesktop-bin 1.6.3-1 at 31.85 MiB which has been reliable since I started using it a year or two back (on Wayland too, but with APU Ryzen 5600G for graphics).
I think it may be a Wayland/Nvidia driver compatibility issue, which I neglected to mention I’m using the proprietary Nvidia driver (Driver Version: 580.119.02 CUDA Version: 13.0) in my original post. I just wanted to provide a solution I found in case anyone else needs it. Here’s the errors from executing the appimage in the console:
libpng warning: iCCP: unexpected zlib return code
libpng error: unexpected zlib return code
libpng warning: iCCP: unexpected zlib return code

Mod edit: removed single backticks from each line of terminal output and inserted 3 backticks ``` on the lines before & after the complete output to make it easier to read
Consider reverting to either the Nvidia 570xx or 575xx series, for comparison. The 580xx are (now) known to have many issues across the board, and several advisory topics suggest to make this reversion.
Take some time to read through the respective Stable Update topics for further substantiating commentary:
