For me, the NEO2 layout didn't work at all in Gnome on Wayland. My current layout is the dvorak variant of the de layout but I might want to switch to NEO2. So for testing, I added NEO2 as additional layout in Gnome's Region & Language settings and then after switching to that, everything was completely messed up.

"Completely messed up" meant:

  - the key right of TAB ("q" on QWERTZ) seemed to be backspace
  - the key right of that ("w" on QWERTZ) activated my shell history (so that would usually be Ctrl-r)
  - all other keys also didn't work properly, e.g., many other seem to be backspace, too
  - it looked like with the CapsLock key I could somehow properly activate NEO's layer 6 (except that this layer should not be activated by the CapsLock key)

Then I tried Gnome on Xorg, and NEO2 seemed to work fine. So I started writing this comment again under Gnome on Wayland. However, then I recognized that NOW UNDER WAYLAND NEO2 ALSO WORKS. Huh? How can that be? It seems like starting Xorg once (with maybe some machine restarts here and there) fixed NEO2 for Wayland.
