Wayland really doesn't seem quite ready for prime time, I'm still using X on my desktop and laptop systems. I know how old and crufty X is and how ugly it is internally (I did development of X apps back in the early 1990s) but most Unix/Linux graphical programs are designed for it. I'm also used to the network transparency of X and Wayland's lack of that feature to me sticks out like a sore thumb.
Anyway, I looked into wayvnc and it is not currently available as a Debian package. However I found instructions to build from source for Debian bullseye, maybe I'll give that a try:
