Gnome Fractional Scaling

It appears gnome on wayland doesn't offer fractional scaling by default. It seems its an experimental feature that needs to be enabled via the command line

command:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

After you do so (may need to reboot) you should have fractional scaling in the settings (under Settings > Devices > Displays). Wayland native applications should work fine. Legacy applications (i.e., those running using XWayland) may be a bit blurry.

[!NOTE] You may need to do a bit of tweaking to get Firefox or VSCode to run as native Wayland apps, but it's doable. For example, see "Running natively under Wayland" here, and "Wayland" here.
