I'm now using Xephyr to confine my ChromeDriver-based Selenium tests
Xephyr :2 -screen 1300x720
export DISPLAY=:2
unset WAYLAND_DISPLAY
This works fine for me on Ubuntu 22.10 in a Wayland session (and it also
worked on 22.04 LTS).
As a bonus, the Chromium window doesn't steal focus any more when my
Selenium tests close and open new browser windows!
But since things worked fine for me on 22.04 even before I implemented
the Xephyr sandboxing, I'm not sure if this will be helpful to you or
not.

Title:
[snap] chromedriver doesn't work without --headless under Wayland
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Since I upgraded my Ubuntu 19.04 laptop to Ubuntu 19.10 I've been
unable to run Robot Framework tests using SeleniumLibrary with Chrome.
I keep getting errors from chromedriver:
Parent suite setup failed:
WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited
abnormally.
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location
/snap/chromium/current/command-chromium.wrapper is no longer running, so
ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
Things work somewhat better when I ask chromium to run in headless mode,
although I still get weird failures partway through the test suite (I think on
the first test that uses Select Window): TimeoutException: Message: timeout:
Timed out receiving message from renderer: 300.000.
It would be easier to debug this if I could _see_ what the browser is
doing, which brings us back to the original problem: non-headless
chromium doesn't work in 19.10.
