Wayland doesn't really have that much to do with KDE per se, it's at a lower level than DE level. It'e not just another app. Ubuntu, which Mint is based on except for LMDE, probably won't switch to Wayland until 20.04 at least from what I've seen.

The difficulty of changing your existing Mint install to Wayland from X, and the distinct possibility you'll break things in the process, outweigh, for me, any issues caused by not running Wayland. I'm running 18.2 KDE on my laptop and have no intention of changing the graphics stack until it's DAMN well supported by the distro.
